As you can see, the bottles on the left are becoming vanilla much more quickly. For the bottle on the right, I cut the vanilla beans into 1-inch sections. I also used both approaches to see which approach extracted the vanilla more quickly.įor the two bottles on the left, I cut the beans through the center, but did not split them apart completely.

I don’t usually buy my vanilla beans from the grocery store because they are not usually high quality at my grocery store and they are typically more costly.
