  2. Add the sugar, ensuring it's well distributed amongst the vanilla beans and alcohol.
  3. Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool, dark place for at least 4 weeks, gently shaking it every few days to aid in the infusion process.
  4. After 4 weeks (or longer, for a more intense flavor), strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible.
  5. Transfer the extracted liquid into a clean, sterilized bottle and seal tightly. Store in a cool, dark place. Your exquisite Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Bourbon Extract is now ready to enhance your favorite recipes or gift to a loved one!
