Replying to @Lynn Biggs when making vanilla extract at home you can choose pretty much any alcohol you want that is at least 35% alcohol by volume. However, for the most pure vanilla flavor vodka is the most popular. White rum is a good choice and bourbon is another excellent choice. #Vanilla #VanillaBeans #WholeVanillaBeans #VanillaPaste #VanillaExtract #HomeBaker #HomeMaker #GourmetChef #GourmetCooking #HomemadeDesserts
