Vanilla Extract Recipe
How to make Homemade Vanilla Extract! Magically Vanilla Extract that brings everything to the next level when baking. All you need is Vanilla bean, alcohol and time! I prefer it with vodka. I was gifted Bourbon Vanilla - that's when my interest peaked - I can make my own Vanilla Extract. Here I use Vodka. You can use bourbon, rum or vodka.
Ingredients
- 1 oz vanilla beans or 28 grams
- 8 oz vodka, rum or bourbon or 227 grams
3 months time! or longer 6-12 for more fuller taste
Instructions
- Use WHOLE vanilla beans - and it will take 6 to 12 months for the vanilla extract. OR Slice the vanilla beans with scissor or knife halved along their length for vanilla extract to be ready in 3 months.
- Put the vanilla beans into the bottle, then cover with your choice of alcohol.
- Store in a cool, dry and dark location for 3 months. You can do longer like 6 to 12 months for a fuller taste.
- It's really that easy. You can reuse your vanilla beans 3-5 times for vanilla extract.
