FAQ

Clear before checkout.

Does the kit include alcohol?

No. Alcohol is not included. The customer adds vodka, rum, bourbon, or another suitable spirit at home.

How long does vanilla extract take?

It can be used from around 8-12 weeks. For a deeper flavour, wait 3-6 months.

Is this suitable for children?

If alcohol is used, this should be treated as an adult-supervised kitchen activity. Keep alcohol and small parts away from children.

Can customers top it up?

Yes. When the bottle is about half full, add more spirit and let it rest again. Add fresh pods when the flavour weakens.
