There's a real difference between store-bought vanilla extract and something you've made yourself — and once you taste it, there's no going back. This homemade vanilla extract kit from Vanilla Bean Kings gives you everything you need to craft a rich, pure vanilla extract at home, using some of the finest Organic Madagascar Grade A vanilla beans in the world. It's a thoughtful gift for bakers, a satisfying project for yourself, and genuinely easier than you might expect.
✨ What's Included
- 🫙 8.5 oz swing-top glass jar — the perfect size for a single-fold vanilla extract batch
- 🏷️ Custom label — to record your start date and alcohol of choice
- 🌿 1 oz Organic Madagascar Grade A vanilla beans — approximately 6–10 beans, grown specifically for extract making
🎯 Benefits
- 🍪 Noticeably better baking — pure homemade vanilla extract has a depth of flavour that supermarket bottles simply can't match
- 💰 Cost-effective — making your own extract costs no more than buying it, and you end up with something far superior
- ⏱️ Low effort — it takes less active time to make this extract than it does to bake a batch of cookies
- 🎁 A gift worth giving — beautifully packaged and ready to wrap, this kit is a genuinely useful present for home bakers, foodies, and anyone who loves to cook
- ♾️ Lasts indefinitely — stored correctly, your finished extract keeps forever (as long as you can resist using it)
📋 How to Make Your Vanilla Extract
- Step 1 — Split each vanilla bean lengthways, then cut into smaller pieces and place them inside the glass jar.
- Step 2 — Pour in 8 oz of your preferred spirit — vodka, rum, bourbon, or brandy all work beautifully — until the beans are fully submerged.
- Step 3 — Seal the jar and give it a gentle shake once or twice a week.
- Step 4 — Wait. It takes around 6 months to 1 year for the beans to fully infuse. After 6 months, test your extract by stirring a little into whipped cream — you'll know when it's ready. Leave the beans in the jar after that point and the flavour will keep developing, much like a good wine.

About Vanilla Bean Kings
Meet Vanilla Bean Kings: From a Basement Dream to Madagascar’s Fields.
What started in 2014 with a single kilogram of Madagascar vanilla has grown into a global mission for quality and fairness. Founded by a passionate baker who realized that premium vanilla was often overpriced and under-sourced, Vanilla Bean Kings was built to bridge the gap between Malagasy farmers and your kitchen.
They don’t just sell spices; they build relationships. In 2018, the team traveled to the SAVA region of Madagascar to meet their suppliers firsthand, ensuring that sustainability and fair trade aren't just buzzwords, but a way of life. When you choose Vanilla Bean Kings on Clozist, you are supporting a supply chain that empowers farmers, ensures traceability, and brings the world’s finest "black gold" directly to your pantry.
