Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium-sized) Fresh pineapple
- 1 whole Vanilla bean
- 750 ml Tequila blanco
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
1. Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into 1-inch chunks.
2. Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise and gently scrape out the seeds using the back of a knife.
3. In a large, clean glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, add the pineapple chunks.
4. Place the vanilla bean pod and its scraped seeds into the jar with the pineapple.
5. Pour the tequila blanco into the jar, making sure the pineapple and vanilla are fully submerged.
6. If desired for a slightly sweeter infusion, add 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and stir to dissolve.
7. Close the lid tightly and store the jar in a cool, dark place for 5-7 days, shaking gently once a day to ensure even infusion.
8. After infusing, strain the tequila through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or container to remove the fruit and vanilla pieces.
9. Serve the infused tequila neat over ice, mix into cocktails, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
