Vanilla Extract update

Well, more than two weeks later, it's nice and dark, but man, the alcohol smell almost knocked me out when I took a whiff! I guess I should still try and take a taste.

If it still seems mostly alcohol, I think I'm going to strain, and add at least another four chopped up beans, and I might need to water it down a bit more. Another two weeks of shaking, and perhaps it will be ready for fall baking season! The funny part is I don't actually like vanilla flavoring in much, but I'd be willing to gift it to the right cause. Fun experimenting!
