Description
This homemade vanilla bean paste is thick, glossy, and packed with real vanilla flavor. Made by grinding soft vanilla beans into a powder, then blending with honey and rum (or vodka), it delivers intense vanilla flavor with beautiful bean specks. Use it anywhere you’d use vanilla extract.
Ingredients
- 10 (50 g) Soft Vanilla beans
- 1 cup (250 ml) Honey or Agave
- 2 - 3 tbsp Dark rum or vodka
Instructions
- Prepare the vanilla beans - Cut the vanilla beans into small pieces using a sharp knife or scissors. Smaller pieces make grinding easier and more even.10 Soft Vanilla beans
- Grind into a powder - Place the chopped beans in a spice grinder or small high-speed blender cup. Blend until the beans resemble a fine, dark powder.
- Blend with honey and alcohol - Add the honey and dark rum (or vodka) to the ground vanilla. Blend again until the mixture becomes thick, dark, and glossy.1 cup Honey or Agave, 2 - 3 tbsp Dark rum or vodka
- Strain the paste - Push the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve using a firm spatula. This removes fibrous bits and leaves a smooth vanilla bean paste.
- Store - Transfer the paste to a clean, airtight glass jar. Store in a cool, dark place and stir before each use.
