Ingredients

Instructions

  1. You will need approximately 1 vanilla bean for every 1/3 cup of alcohol. Carefully slice each vanilla bean open.
  2. Place vanilla beans into jars or flask. Pour appropriate amount of liquor over the vanilla beans.
  3. Close tightly and store in a cool dark place.
  4. Swish the bottles of vanilla once or twice a week. The vanilla extract will be ready to use within 4-6 months.
  5. You can remove the vanilla beans (I like to use them to make homemade vanilla ice cream) or leave them in the extract.
