Ingredients
- 8 Whole Vanilla Beans
- 2 Cups Vodka
Instructions
Split the Vanilla Bean
- Using a small paring knife, carefully split the vanilla bean lengthwise right down the middle cutting halfway through the bean so you can see the beans
Combine Ingredients in a jar
- Place the vanilla beans in a glass jar, submerge the vanilla beans in vodka so that they are fully covered and seal the jar
Store the Vanilla Extract
- Gently shake the jar and store it in a cool and dark area for at least 4-6 weeks and until the liquid turns a dark amber color (for a stronger flavor, keep infusing them for longer)
Use and Enjoy!
- Once the extract is ready, you can use the vanilla extract straight from the large jar or pour it into individual 4 ounce jars (perfect for gifting)
- Using your mini funnel, pour extract into 4 ounce glass jars, seal and decorate with label and twine
Notes
- This recipe makes (4) ounce jars, so add more ingredients if you have more gifts to give!
