HOMEMADE VANILLA EXTRACT
It is so much cheaper to make your own vanilla extract than it is to buy it.
HOMEMADE VANILLA EXTRACT
INGREDIENTS
1 – 375 milliliter bottle of 90-proof vodka
4 vanilla beans
Tools: cutting board, knife
DIRECTIONS
1. Split each vanilla bean in half, crosswise and lengthwise.
2. Place all beans inside the bottle of vodka.
3. Write the “open date” on the bottle, 6 months from the day you begin soaking the beans.
4. Place the bottles in a dark cabinet for 6 months.
5. The vanilla extract will be ready to use in 6 months. The longer you age the extract, the better.
