How much vodka in ml would render the best results using all these beans?
895436
I used three beans in 375ml bottle with excellent results if you are referring to vanilla extract. I split them down the middle, filled the bottle, and waited about 4 weeks, maybe a bit longer. Shaking whenever I thought about it. I would say there were at least 15 vanilla beans so you are looking at 1.875L if I'm correct. If you put more beans per bottle you would probably be able to top off the vodka more often.

I split the beans and use 6 or 7 per half pint. Shake it every day and wait a couple of months. Keep out of direct sunlight. You will not believe how much better this is than store bought. I bought 1/2 pt bottles of vodka and put the beans in the bottles. Worked great. But beware my friend had hers on the car seat and almost got arrested for having an open container of booze in the car. Got lucky and the cop smelled it and had a sense of humor.

Depends on how you are going to bottle it, as to how much Vodka to use. I made mine using 4oz. Boston brown bottles and 2 vanilla beans cut in half and split for each bottle. I could have used 3 per bottle but wanted to make sure I had enough for all 12 bottles. I used 3 (US) pints which is roughly 1420 ml. I filled each bottle to the within 1/2 of the rim.

About 6-9 inches. I took a 5th of vodka and cut the beans up into 1 1/2 inch pieces and they are soaking in the bottle as I write this note. I will leave them in the bottle for 6 months.

Nope - not that I remember...A good recipe = 1/2 lime - 2 oz vodka & Ginger Beer (I prefer the non-alcoholic) - 4 to 6 oz and plenty of ice.

Depends on how strong you'd like it. about 1 heaping tablespoon per 8oz of water is a delicious cup of guayusa!

That's probably a subjective question...my preferred way to drink it is actually blended with 3-5 frozen strawberries.

Yes it will work. I've infused lots of booze. You really don't need to put it in the double boiler though. Just charge with a couple nitros and let sit. When I do bacon wiskey I let it sit over night. Vodka goes faster since you don't need to overcome the powerful flavors.

My recipe is a quart of cream, a capful of vanilla, and four drops of stevia. That's all I put in, then I add the nitrous and shake about five times and voila!

the vinilla mix is better mixed with a scoop of pudding mix. what ever pudding mix you use will make the drink taste like it. what you want to do is make a smoothe with this. i have magic bullit mixer. in the cup i put two scoops of the drink mix one cup of milk one scoop of pudding, 8 ice cubes. mix this up. then add more ice cubes to make it as thick as you want. i add another 8 cubes. for a total of 16 cubes. depending on the size of your cubes will determine how many you can put in the mixing cup. i suggest using the other flavored drink mixes so you don't have to use pudding. also there are reciepes on line for herbalife smoothies, i like cookies and cream the best. good luck on losing weight. the vinilla mix is better mixed with a scoop of pudding mix. what ever pudding mix you use will make the drink taste like it. what you want to do is make a smoothe with this. i have magic bullit mixer. in the cup i put two scoops of the drink mix one cup of milk one scoop of pudding, 8 ice cubes. mix this up. then add more ice cubes to make it as thick as you want. i add another 8 cubes. for a total of 16 cubes. depending on the size of your cubes will determine how many you can put in the mixing cup. i suggest using the other flavored drink mixes so you don't have to use pudding. also... » Read More the vinilla mix is better mixed with a scoop of pudding mix. what ever pudding mix you use will make the drink taste like it. what you want to do is make a smoothe with this. i have magic bullit mixer. in the cup i put two scoops of the drink mix one cup of milk one scoop of pudding, 8 ice cubes. mix this up. then add more ice cubes to make it as thick as you want. i add another 8 cubes. for a total of 16 cubes. depending on the size of your cubes will determine how many you can put in the mixing cup. i suggest using the other flavored drink mixes so you don't have to use pudding. also there are reciepes on line for herbalife smoothies, i like cookies and cream the best. good luck on losing weight. « Show Less

I use the Lavazza "Cafe Espresso" blend - the black 8 oz can. One can will typically last us 1 week and we typically brew 3/4 shots a day. The can costs about $7, so it works out to something like 25c-33c per shot.

We used the blueberry syrup for that purpose with good results. I'm not sure how many pumps of syrup my wife used per cup of ice in a blender (probably one, the Amoretti syrups are very strong), then blend until the ice is powered.

35% alcohol... Vanilla beans is last but that has always been standard on any extract I've ever seen or used.

I typically extract one shot. Although two are feasible since there is a double spigot outlet. Apparently, it is a matter of personal preference, I prefer my espresso double (two extraction cycles); "ristretto" with crema. My water setting is very close to the minimum, 10 grind and about half in bean amount. Cheers!

Vodka works as well. The aeration created by the circulation will cause the liquid to evaporate more quickly than if poured into a drinking glass. However, if you lay on the floor on your belly, arms out to the sides so as not to interfere, and lap with a steady rhythm for an extended period of time, I have found that you will get all you need to make your troubles fade into the background well before the vodka/whiskey evaporates entirely. NOTE: This will result in serious dehydration, the exact opposite of the fountain's intended purpose. So before the adventure begins, I suggest ingesting a very large quantity of pure water. Enjoy!

Yes. If it is mixed weakly. You will need to make sure the mixture you put in has a high-ish fat content (cream/pudding/milk base). If you pour straight vodka in it, I do not think it would freeze very well considering the very low freezing point of high proof/vodka/liqueur.

Yes, I would do half a batch and half the ice. When the ice stops, blend it yourself.

I had enough to make 5 1/2 pt bottles of extract. I think 4 or 5 beans per 1/2 pt. I split the beans and after a month it's hard to count them. I will say this The AROMA from the bottles is a wife of heaven. I am making gifts of 1/2 pint bottles. And a big one for me. The beans are perfect.
