Ingredients

How to make it

  • Remove about 1/2 ounce of vodka from the bottle
  • (optional--add some orange juice and drink that removed amount) haha
  • Cut a slit lengthwise down each vanilla bean.
  • Cut each vanilla bean into 3/4 inch pieces.
  • Add beans to Vodka bottle and place cap back on bottle.
  • Put bottle in obvious place (like on top on refridgerator)
  • Shake the bottle vigarously at least once a day for 30 days.
  • Strain the extract through a coffee filter, rinse the bottle and
  • return the liquid to the bottle.
  • You now have homemade vanilla extract and it is much cheaper and much
  • more flavorful than store bought.

    I'm a new foodie, and appreciate this recipe. I live in Texas, but after 9-11-01, I don't get to Mexico very often to buy Mexican Vanilla, which is much more potent than our McCormick's or other brand vanillas. This recipe sounds great!!
    Thanks, kafrye
