Notes
Homemade vanilla is so good. Enjoy in 6-8 weeks. You may pour out what you need and let the rest sit longer. Or you can strain and use. Add rum back to used vanilla beans again for a second use. Let sit longer to extract as the second batch won't be as strong, but it still has a good flavor.
Tip: You can open a new bottle of rum 1 liter(about 33 oz) and add 20 beans.
