Homemade Vanilla
Ingredients
1 liter Vodka
10 – 15 fresh Vanilla Beans
Directions
Split the Vanilla Beans in half lengthwise and place them in the Vodka bottle. Seal and store in a cool, dark place. For the first 2 or 3 weeks shake the bottle every day to distribute all the vanilla goodness. You should let the vanilla sit for a minimum of 4 weeks before using. I’ve read that the best flavor develops after 6 months but the truth is that I have yet to wait 6 months to use it. The same beans continue to flavor vanilla for up to a year.

I am using this same recipe to make vanilla and give as a xmas gift in small 4 ounce bottles. I have been letting it sit for over 4 months. It’s a good affordable gift!
Wow this is so great, I used 12 beans in a 26 oz bottle and let it sit for 6 months, it’s fabulous.
I love money saving ideas. I baked a lot and the Pure Vanilla is all I ever use. Thanks for sharing 🙂
