Ingredients

1/2 pint Vodka (500 ML)

3-4 Whole Vanilla Beans

Directions

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
