It’s easy to make your own vanilla extract, and it will taste far better than any commercial variety! All you need is some inexpensive Vodka, Brandy or Rum along with some Beanilla Vanilla Beans. Vodka will allow the most vanilla bean flavor to come through. However, you can use brandy or rum if you prefer the taste. It makes a great gift too!
Ingredients
2 Cups Vodka, Brandy, or Rum
6 Vanilla Beans cut into 1" pieces
1 Container / Jar with tight lid
Preparation
- Combine Vodka and Vanilla Beans in container / jar
- Cover the jar and let stand for 6-8 weeks in a cool dark place
- Shake mixture several times a week. The mixture will turn amber colored
- You can continue to add more Vodka as the extract becomes used. Like fine wine, the extraxt gets better with age
