Equipment
- Large Tall Container - Air Tight
Ingredients
- 7-8 Vanilla Beans
- 8 oz Quality Vodka
Instructions
- Slice each vanilla bean in half lengthwise to reveal inside of beans. If the beans are too long to fit in your glass jar you can cut them shorter.
- Place your split beans in a glass jar and pour alcohol over them. Cap the jar tightly and shake gently.
- You'll want to place this mixture tore in a cool, dark place for at least eight weeks, making sure to shake it once a week. The photos you see above and below depict my vanilla extract that has been stored for just over 2 months. Ideally, your extract will sit extracting for 6-12 months in order to attain the optimal flavor.
