Vanilla Extract

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 vanilla beans
  • 1 cup of alcohol (I chose Vodka)

Instructions
 

  • Slice open the beans and scrape out the stuff in the middle. Scrape this stuff into your jar/bottle of alcohol.
  • Cut the beans into pieces and add them to the jar with the scrapings.
    Cap the jar tightly.
    This is the part that requires patience. Wait.
  • In two weeks shake the jar.  Wait some more. Repeat.
    It takes approximately four months for your extract to be ready (some people say six is better)
