Have decided to make some vanilla essence... Got a kilo of beans, chopped
them up and put that into about 4 litres of Vodka... Used a stab blender to
chop them up a bit more... Even after three days the aroma is stunning. The
taste strong and rich, yet the vodka kind of comes through and to my taste,
it needs a bit of caramalised sugar to round it... Any suggestions?
