Tips

You can eat homemade vanilla bean paste the day you make it, unlike homemade vanilla extract.
If you want the paste thicker, you can add xanthan gum, but it might upset your stomach.
The paste will thicken up as it sits at room temperature.
Don't waste anything; add milk to the container with leftover vanilla beans and enjoy as vanilla bourbon milk.
This paste is perfect for cakes, coffee, and more.
Can also be used in cocktails and for gifting.
You can also use a regular blender instead of an immersion blender for blending the paste ingredients together, it just makes it easier to use an immersion blender because it can be used directly in the measuring cup where all the ingredients are combined together and weighed precisely.
