Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans
*EASY* Vanilla Extract: Simply take
several beans, split them open lengthwise so the meat
is exposed, and place the beans in a pint of high quality
liquor of your choice although Vodka is the usual choice.
You may use rum or brandy as well, your choice. Vodka
has less taste of its own and is preferred for that
reason.
Vanilla Sugar: Split 2-3 beans open
and put them in a quart jar with approximately 2/3 to
3/4 full of sugar. Seal the jar with a lid and every
so often, shake the jar to mix the sugar and vanilla.
After the desired strength is obtained, it's ready to
use. How about in your morning coffee, perhaps to bake
with or cinnamon toast to die for.
Chop and/or grind to add to soapmaking, or
add to some oils and put in blender for tiny pieces
in your soap. The scent is Clouds of Vanilla Heaven.
Shipped Vacuum Sealed to retain freshness. |

Apricot
Shell Powder
We wanted an exfoliant that was a little more scrubby
than the Apricot Seed Meal and less intense than the
Walnut Shell powder and this is it. Tiny beads of finely
ground apricot shell. It's great for mechanic, gardener
or any exfoliant soap but has a more gentle touch than
walnut shell and a slightly more intense scrubby action
than the very gentle Apricot Seed Meal. This one is
perfect for nearly any application. |

these beautiful little flat golden brown flax seeds
are the perfect filler. Mix with rose petals, lavender
