This is wonderful Bev...I've just finished the second batch...and am ready to start using the first batch that I previously made...wow, what a scent...I will never by store bought vanilla again....this is just too easy. i'm looking forward to wonderful results with this dark, heavy scented vanilla...which I let sit for 4 months...I will drain the vanilla beans out and grind them up into a small amount of white sugar to flavour the sugar....Kudo's Kato
