I can only say that I've had about 8-10 vanilla beans soaking in
Smirnoff for a few weeks. The beans were a gift from a friend's
daughter; some were "baking" grade, others were "make your own vanilla"
grade. Her instruction said one bean to one ounce of vodka. That's
only 2 tablespoons of vodka. I didn't measure. . . just slit a bunch
of beans and set them into the vodka. I shake it up every day. And
give it a sniff. Smells pretty good, if I do say.
