You can continue adding vodka to the beans until you've completely depleted their flavor. I don't know how many times you can refill the vodka, though. I'll have to experiment and find out.

What do you use the vanilla sugar for? NOTE: Carrie responded: All kinds of things. In the case of the shortbread, after it comes out of the oven and cools slightly you dip it in the sugar and cover it and then let it cool complete on a rack; because it's hot, it sticks to it. You can substitute it for regular sugar in baking recipes where you want the sweetness more pronounced, or a vanilla flavor pronounced, like a vanilla pound cake. In the wintertime, I use vanilla sugar (along with cinnamon) on my oatmeal. It's great on sliced fresh fruit (strawberries especially, and peaches) and a little bit of ice cream, it's also great in tea and coffee.... I could go on and on....

I thought you might like to know I made vanilla shortbread with some of those beans and used the spent beanpods to make more vanilla sugar, which I was running out of. That looks great.
