Here's how to make your own vanilla extract
at home and it's so much better than the commonly purchased commercial
variety...plus it makes a wonderful gift, too!
Vanilla Extract
- 6 vanilla beans, split
1 (fifth) bottle vodka
- Combine split beans with vodka in a 1-quart
glass jar.
- Store jar in a dark, cool place for a
minimum of 2 months, however, the longer time stored, the stronger
and better flavored your homemade vanilla will be. Some prefer
to store homemade vanilla for up to 1 year before using.
Makes 1 quart.
