Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 18 whole vanilla beans
- 1.5 liters vodka
- 12 four oz jars
Instructions
- With a knife or scissors, split vanilla beans lengthwise, then across - you should end up with four pieces per bean. Put six pieces in each bottle, add 4 oz of vodka, tighten lid, and shake. Let the bottles sit, away from sunlight, for a month - shaking every week for better flavor. Dress the bottles up with cute labels and give away!
- After a month the vanilla should be ready to use just as you would store bought vanilla extract! As your bottle gets used up, feel free to add more vodka in order to replenish it - the beans will still have enough juice to keep it flavorful for quite a while!
