For sure. I wanted to start small because I had no idea where this would take me. I think cracking them open without actually grinding them should be in my next attempt.
Yeah, grinding them might be too much and harder to strain out the bean. Thatās why I was thinking of just smashing them with a spoon or something.
Occasionally I do, but I mainly order from Alfred Peet, hand-grind in a ceramic cone, and press in a 3-cup Bodum.
slightly off topicā¦but what do think steeping a custard with a vanilla pod would doā¦?..
I have no experience with coffee steeping or vanilla pod steeping, at this point just with Jack Daniels oak chips (which was divine) I was just wonderingā¦
I think you should try it and let us know!
ā¦itās poisonous isnāt it ā¦(thereās isnt a squinty eyeād emoji but Iām doing that right nowā¦)
It was nice knowing you, Brother, but please let us know how it tasted before you leave for the afterlife, eh?
I wonāt forget to send flowers, albeit little plastic ones. [The TPA is too expensive for real ones, sorry]
I will even play you a song at your departureā¦
If it is, then my baked goods are deadly! I use TWO TEASPOONS in my cookies!!
I shall give it a go this weekend and report back with my findingsā¦If I survive the initial test
@Pugs1970
Is it dead or alive?
He does indeed , a couple more on here do as well but ā¦I canāt remember who ā¦
@JoJo as usual was correct. @therabidweasel method of extracting the vanilla is in his notes under this recipe.
His notes:
take an old 15ml juice bottle, cut a length of vanilla bean to fit, split it into quarters 90% down the length so it stays in one piece, fill the bottle with PG. Let steep as long as possible, shake nightly and will be ready in about 6 weeks when the color gets dark. Itās not very strong, but it does the job.
