However, due to the higher moisture content, they have less vanilla flavor per ounce. When we are making extract, we want the uglier, yet more flavorful Grade B beans. How do I make extract? It's easy! Remove beans from jar, slice in half the long way, to expose the vanilla seeds. Put back in jar and fill jar with alcohol, making sure to completely cover beans. Shake + wait!  How many beans do I need? To make 1 cup (8 fluid ounces) of single-fold vanilla extract, you will need 23 grams (0.8 oz) of vanilla beans; or 5-8 beans. To make 1 quart (32 fluid ounces) of single-fold vanilla extract, you will need 93 grams (3.3 oz) of vanilla beans; or 20-30 beans.  What else do I need? Vodka or bourbon! If you're looking for a non-alcoholic option, you can use food-grade glycerin. Time! Bottle should sit 6-8 weeks; 6 months is better.
