Homemade Vanilla Extract

Make your own vanilla extract at home. A couple months later, it's worth the wait!

Serves: 200 ml

Prep Time: 4-6 months

Cooking Time: 0 min

Total:  4-6 months

Ingredients

2 vanilla beans
200 ml vodka

Directions

1. Carefully slice vanilla beans lengthwise using a sharp knife. Gently open to expose inner part of the vanilla bean, called "caviar".
2. Stuff vanilla beans into a small 200 ml glass bottle or jar with a tightly sealing lid. Pour over enough vodka to cover.
3. Store in a cool, dark place and gently shake every week or so. In 4-6 months the vanilla beans will have infused the vodka.
4. Use as normal in baking and desserts.
