Vanilla beans.

 I am so happy! I saw a post on the cattle and cupcake site about making vanilla extract. She gave a web site where you can buy it. http://www.beanilla.com/ My wonderful husband bought me 20 vanilla beans. They will be here in two to three business days. I learned awhile back how to make Starbucks vanilla scones. But the beans were so expensive (2 for $13) that I could not see making them a lot. Now I can . He got 20 Madagascar Vanilla Beans for 20 bucks. They are having a great sale. I could jump up and down for joy.  Thank you so much Cattle and Cupcakes! As soon as I get them I will make the scones and post the recipe. I am so HAPPY!

  2. I've been searching for a good grade vanilla bean too. I plan to make vanilla extract for Christmas presents this coming Christmas.

  5. Thanks for that link! We too have been making our own vanilla extract for years. I have lost my source and was glad to see you posted this. We usually use vodka or bourben. We like both, and don't really have a preference, what do you think you will use?
