My mom uses rum as you can see in her comment :) It's only been a few weeks and the vanilla looks reeeeaaaally dark---even darker than the natural store-bought kind of have. That seems like a good sign. Jaime--when you make a bottle at a time how many beans/pods do you use? Mom? I read a bunch of different recipes and settled on the one that called for the fewest just so I didn't use up as many. We'll see if it's strong enough! Thanks Jaime for the 6 month suggestion!

I do mine a little differently. I do top it off with more vodka, but I've read it's good to take out the beans after 6 months in the vodka because they get... stale? I think that's it. Something like that. I make mine a vodka bottle at a time :) I think the next time I make it I'm going to try a different alcohol. I love making homemade vanilla! I do mine a little differently.
