• 15 vanilla beans
• 1 (750 ml bottle) 80 proof vodka

Instructions

 

Method #1 Marinating in the Vodka Bottle:

• Remove 1/4 cup of vodka from the bottle, and set aside for another use (or cocktail).
• Use a sharp pairing knife to slit the vanilla beans down the length of the vanilla bean, so the beans are exposed.
• Place the beans into the vodka bottle.
• Shake a few times, and store at room temperature.
• Shake once a week until ready to use.
• For the best vanilla beans extract, marinate for 6-12 months.

Method #2 Marinating in Separate Bottles:

• Use a sharp pairing knife to slit the vanilla beans down the length of the vanilla bean, so the beans are exposed.
• Place the 5 beans into each bottle.
• Use a funnel to pour vodka into each bottle.
• Shake a few times, and store at room temperature.
• Shake the vanilla extract once a week until ready to use.
• For the best vanilla beans extract, marinate for 6-12 months.

Storing Vanilla Bean Extractives:

• The homemade vanilla extract will last many years, as long as the beans are fully submerged.
• Store in a cool, dry place, out of sunlight.
• When the vanilla extract no longer smells good, toss it out.
• Special Tip: You can add more vodka to the bottles as you use the homemade extract!
