Vanilla Infused Bourbon

Jake has been wanting to try infusing his Bourbon for a while now. He came across a recipe for vanilla infused Bourbon and decided to give it a shot.

We bought two vanilla beans and split them with a knife. We also scraped the seeds out of one of the beans.

Then Jake threw the two beans and seeds into 1.25 liters of Jim Beam Bourbon. (He poured the Bourbon into an Evan Williams bottle.)

In 48 hours Jake is going to remove the seeds from the beans and just leave the seeds in the Bourbon. He'll then taste it in 4 days and decide if he wants to let it infuse longer. Once the Bourbon is infused , Jake will use a coffee filter to remove the seeds from the Bourbon.

Recipe:

2 vanilla beans split down middle

1.25 liters Bourbon

Remove seeds from one bean. Add both beans and seeds to Bourbon. In 48 hours remove seeds from beans. Throw rinds out and put seeds back into Bourbon. Taste in 4 days and once bourbon is infused, pass the liquid through coffee filters to remove seeds and enjoy.
