Do you split the vanilla beans at all before inserting it into the vodka? Or do you just leave them whole?

Question

Susan W. · Answer

Two great ideas. So, do you just use a light rum? Does the vanilla have a rummy flavor?

Tommy · Answer

I always crush them with a rolling pin to break the seeds inside then I split them lengthwise and if necessary, cut in half. I also use white rum instead of vodka. Its amazing.
