Every few years I clean it out and start a fresh batch, but as long as the vanilla beans are in there, you can keep refreshing the vodka in little bits as long as there's enough strong vanilla flavored vodka still in the jar to blend with and flavor the vodka addition. At least that's what I do.

Must try!
When the recipe says it will be fully cured in 6 months does that mean you can't use it for 6 months? Or just that it will taste better and better?
Thanks, Grace
The longer it soaks in the vanilla flavor and dark color of the bean the more vanilla flavor you will actually taste in the recipe. Some say wait a month. Some say a year! But the longer it sits, the richer the flavor. That's why I make a large jar. The flavor gets deeper and deeper as time goes by. Mmmm!!
