    hey Karlyn... I agree with you, totally, about making your own extract, and also have a "recipe" posted :) :) I have been doing my own for years. I just think it's important to remind people, though, that to make a true, by the book, FDA approved "extract", there has to be 6 full beans to every 8oz of vodka, otherwise, you are only making vanilla vodka....which, is a fine animal on it's own, for sure, but I think it's important to note the difference. :)
