Vanilla Beans

Vanilla grows in countries with climates like Guatemala—warm, rainy, bursting with life.
Vanilla is actually the pod of an orchid, and orchids thrive in beautiful Guatemala.

Snip up three pods into one cup of rum or vodka in a glass container with a lid. Shake gently and let steep for 6 weeks, shaking gently every week.
Vanilla pods come in packs of 3.
