Create your own vanilla extract with this simple and flavorful recipe, perfect for enhancing your baking and cooking.
Split the vanilla beans lengthwise to expose the seeds.
Splitting the beans allows the seeds to infuse the vodka more effectively.
Place the split vanilla beans into a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid.
Ensure the jar is clean and dry to prevent contamination.
Pour the vodka over the vanilla beans, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Use a funnel to avoid spilling the vodka.
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place.
Shake the jar gently every few days to mix the contents.
Allow the mixture to steep for at least 6 weeks, or until the vodka turns a rich amber color.
The longer you let it steep, the more intense the flavor will be.
Once ready, use the vanilla extract in your favorite recipes.
You can top off the jar with more vodka as you use the extract to extend its life.
