Welcome back everybody we got another product review for you today and I'm very passionate about this product and excited to actually show this to you so we're going to do an unboxing and then we'll see what's inside and go from there so let me show you what it is first and it is the company that's offering it okay and let's take a look at what it is as you can see by the name you know what I'm thinking I know there's your chocolate people out there and then there's your vanilla people I'm a little of both but I'm really a vanilla person yeah I am when it comes to vanilla you got me you get my attention with vanilla okay so so anyways as I try to figure out how to open this without damaging it it's taped on the side dummy me dum-dum all right so there it is so you open it like that it opens up like that you got this comes with this right we'll find out what all these things are in a second you get a little mmm kind of smell in the goodies as it is you get a little warming package and you know you get the top to this you're gonna start to develop an idea what it is mmm that's real good and you get this I gotta put glasses on for this okay so first thing you're gonna get is this then you're going to get this in the box these are vanilla beans this is a jar and you're going to get this I'm not sure I'm assuming this is a funnel of some sort well we'll open that in a minute and look at it and then you get the top to the bottle so you can cork it and seal it and then you get a warming package and let's see here they give you a little bit of a then give you a magnet put that on your fridge actually it's it's telling you the homemade vanilla extract cheat chart and they're just giving you all the amount of alcohol for the amount of twofold you got to read what what they're talking about exactly in here I kind of know what it is they're talking about but you got to read you know what they mean by so that's it pause the video you could read that they give you a little sticker here all right so you want to take this sticker and then you would put it on the bottle and then it give you a business card and you get a couple of these stickers here we go this is what I'll put in my file cabinet of course they give you a warming card you know to explain to you how to make the recipe it's relatively pretty simple so what is this exactly this is a vanilla extract kit and basically what it consists of is the vanilla beans to the jar and of course you're gonna have to add your own alcohol what I generally use for alcohol now you could use really any alcohol you want to make vanilla what I generally use is you could use gin you can use you can use rum like Bacardi rum if you want to use that's like 151 I would recommend a clear or you could use like a vodka that's generally what I use if you notice vodka is usually used for extracts because it has no flavor in it and you don't want to tamper with the flavor of vanilla at all so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to open this up put that in there and I'm going to probably use let's say I might we'll probably use gin because I don't have vodka I drank all my vodka so put this in here we'll put the gin in it it's just open it up like this oh that's good vanilla oh that's good stuff Wow whoo I'm getting buzzed from this one Wow look at the oil coming off of that thing Wow whoo this is good stuff guys holy smokes look my hands are soaked in the oil from these vanilla beans I almost want to eat one I might do that on camera yeah I got it I'm like a vanilla addict here I love vanilla normally to me listen what I do this is what I do when it comes to making vanilla extractors there's several approaches to it some people tell you to use the whole bean and generally it just put the whole bean in there you can do several soakings there's a lot of vanilla for that little bottle too by the way it's gonna be very concentrated you could do several soakings with with when you leave the vanilla paste on the inside of the bean or you could do like me I extract all the paste from the beans normally and then I then I I make like either ice cream or vanilla milk or vanilla cream with it and just kind of add a little sugar to that and just indulge in such a sinful way but basically I to me that's like a waste to do that but you could make the same amount of extract a good extract even after you remove the vanilla paste from the inside so you're just as good on the inside of that but we're gonna do this what's that to me to do it this way just the way we're gonna do it I do have one or two more in here I've got a bunch more man they give you a lot of vanilla guys let me tell you something you see all those beans in there that's enough to make like at least two to three extracts out of that you once you once you drain it the first time just fill it back up with alcohol to let it sit on the shelf in a dark place for another month or two it'll it'll turn black again just keep moving it around you could get two or three extracts out of this I'm gonna leave one bean for myself because I'm going to indulge in their beans I'm not sure if this is bourbon or what this is a good one guys this is look at that oil on my hands oh that's good Wow it's almost naturally sweet whoo vanilla is good stuff guys okay so this is gin we're gonna go with the extra dry that's what I use for my martinis oh this is now now it's gonna take a while so I'm not gonna stay here and and wait for this to actually complete itself so it's gonna take a long time but maybe I'll come back in a couple of months and show you down the road I'll make something with it so let's see let's put this in here yeah you probably want to put the handle on there first before you fill it with alcohol probably a good idea but you know me I'm always impatient then you go like this I do it backwards I'm terrible oh my gosh I don't know how to do this okay so it goes like that so you got to put this on in a certain way and I don't know what that way is but as you watch me make a fool of myself it goes like that you lift it up like this and wada and then you just take your sticker on it I'm saving this one for myself I'm gonna indulge in that in ways you can't even possibly imagine I am literally going to indulge I want to read this is Madagascar vanilla but I don't know if it's the bourbon kind or there's a couple of variations of it this is good this is literally got the oil on it man that is really good you make ice cream with this kind of vanilla bean Wow you're gonna be spoiled so that is what you would do with that we're just gonna just make sure there's no oil on it we're going to pick off our deal here the date is on there already believe it or not but you can write the date on a bottle if you want just having a hard time with all that oil from that vanilla I can't peel a sticker guys you ain't getting a sticker off on this on camera you're getting to see it live okay there's no there's no fakery with me I do everything live here we go so that's your sticker we're gonna just kind of lay it on like this look at that look how beautiful that is absolutely gorgeous yes and that's what you'll get now this is a beautiful stocking stuffer in my opinion what you just see me do is perfect you don't need to buy you know one pound bags of vanilla and buy the separate jars to make the extract and all that stuff you could just buy this kit you put the vanilla beans in it add the alcohol I use dry gin you could use I recommend actually using I recommend using vodka because I think vodka just gives the vanilla flavor a better flavor but gin also works very good too and that's it so you got to do it just keep it in your cabinet and that's it you should be fine I'm not sure what this thing is this is probably used to fill up of course you know look at this look at this thing guys look at that it's an insta funnel haha I like that that's a great thing so anyway if you when you go to fill it up don't do like me cuz I'm an impatient person just basically take your McGijo your McGadget here right looks like this just pop it all out put it in there and then fill up your alcohol that way and you should be fine I didn't do that cuz you know me but they give it to you anyway this is a complete kit and you can't go wrong stick one of those on your refrigerator put it on a bump of your car my best advice is to actually use it for a Christmas gift stocking stuffer if I were you I think that's what it would be a great item to give away especially to your grandma's out there and you know how they like to do a lot of cooking and baking and stuff like that and you need good vanilla extract don't buy that stuff in the store that's basically it that's that's all artificial and it's it's really garbage that stuff don't buy that make your own it's not that expensive and it's easy to do you just gotta let it sit there and wait maybe I'll show it to you down the road oh my god these beans are so oily it's incredible I've never seen beans so oily in my life and believe me I buy a lot of vanilla I buy vanilla by the pound and you know when it's when it's when it when the prices of vanilla go down because they go up really high and they go down really low when I do that I buy it by the pound but I usually get either B or H you know a grade I'd be a grades really expensive but I've never gotten vanilla bean where it was literally oily like that wow that is impressive I've got to chew on one of those a little later so I'll wait until I'm relaxed we'd be chewing on that vanilla bean but anyway guys that's it definitely pick one of these up and give it as a Christmas gift and you know it's a good idea to buy now and wait for the time is right and then you know
