Perpetual Vanilla is made from organic Madagascar vanilla beans packed in a 5 oz bottle with instructions to make pure vanilla extract. This is the old-fashioned way of making extract – you split the three vanilla beans in half to expose the flavorful centers, fill the bottle with vodka and wait 4 weeks. Voila! Pure vanilla extract. Each time you use the extract simply refill with vodka. Perpetual Vanilla lasts 3+ years. Each bottle is hand dipped in beeswax and tied with raffia.
