Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Vanilla beans
- 1 cup Vodka
Instructions
1. Gather six whole vanilla beans and lay them flat on a clean cutting board.
2. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each vanilla bean lengthwise down the middle to expose the seeds inside.
3. Place the split vanilla beans into a clean, sealable glass jar or bottle (at least 8-ounce capacity).
4. Pour one cup of vodka into the jar, completely submerging the vanilla beans. Use a high-quality vodka for the best results.
5. Seal the jar tightly and give it a gentle shake to combine.
6. Store the jar in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry, for at least 2 months. Shake the jar gently once a week to help infuse the flavors.
7. After 2 months or more, the extract is ready to use. The longer you let it sit, the more intense the flavor will become.
8. To use, simply pour out the desired amount of vanilla extract for your recipes. You can leave the beans in the jar to continue infusing or remove them, as per your preference.
