We like vanilla. It usually goes in our pancake batter, oatmeal, and French toast mixture in addition to a lot of baked items. If you bought any in the last couple of years you noticed the price is thru the roof. Costco sells a 16 ounce bottle for $30! Did some research and found the extract is always made with at least 35% alcohol. Decided to kick it up a notch with the flavor profile so purchased some beans on ebay and went to town. The bourbon is supposed to add a caramel taste with other good flavors. The alcohol disappears during the cooking process. Slice the beans and scrape out the seeds and mix both with the bourbon and wait at least 2 months. Should make a cool gift for your "foodie" friends as well.
