Take off the heat and let cool before transferring to a container. I use a strainer to filter out the nibs and tonka bean.</p> https://blog.acefour.org/posts/virginia-experiment-tonka-blackberry/ Fri, 26 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.acefour.org/posts/virginia-experiment-tonka-blackberry/ <p>So found out I can get tonka beans on Amazon and thought let&rsquo;s give this a go!</p> <p><img loading="lazy" src="https://photos.geoffcorey.com/api/v1/t/7e1c94448b658725da3f09f36cb6f4993139f7f5/jnzhly2m/fit_1280"></p> <p>It is some quite fragrant stuff!
