Summary

Last question from me, I promise! Is there a Bean to Bottle ratio that I need to keep in mind? Your recipe calls for 8 bean pods, but I didn’t see any mention regarding the size of your bottles. I’ve seen a few recipes that seem to operate under a one bean per ounce rule of thumb. So are those bottles in your picture 8oz? They certainly look smaller, I’d guess maybe 4oz? So that would indicate a 2 Beans per ounce ratio, right? Does it take longer or dilute the flavor if I don’t use too much water vs bean per bottle (such as 4 beans covered in water in an 8 oz bottle) or concentrate the flavor but sacrifice yield using less water vs bean per bottle (stuffed 16-20 beans in the 8oz bottle, which would take less water to cover as the beans take up more room)?Coffee shops add Vanilla Syrup to their coffees. I have a Vanilla Bean Syrup recipe on the blog if you’re interested. I’d recommend that in coffee over vanilla extract 😀 If you are hesitant to use vanilla extract in your drink recipes, you can skip it. We recommend looking for a non alcoholic vanilla extract.
