For an even more nuanced flavor, experiment with different varieties of vanilla beans, such as Tahitian or Mexican. Ensure the vodka used is of good quality, as its flavor will subtly influence the final extract. Patience is key! The longer the vanilla beans infuse, the more potent and delicious the extract will be.
