Homemade Vanilla Extract

Once you make homemade vanilla extract you will never go back to buying high priced store bought vanilla. It is so easy to make and very inexpensive.


Ingredients:

1 Pint Vodka
3-4 Vanilla Beans
A clear bottle to store vanilla or use the Vodka bottle

Directions:

Slice your vanilla beans down the center and scrape out the seeds.
Add the seeds and beans to vodka.
Screw cap on the bottle tight and shake well.
Shake the bottle every day for a week and then once a week for 3 weeks.

The vanilla will take 30 days to cure.
After 30 days strain and use.

You can add more vodka to the beans 2x before the beans begin to loose their potency.

Vanilla is a great way to add flavor to many recipes.

~Great in almost any baked good recipe


Enjoy!
