There's no substitution for making something yourself. Homemade vanilla extract is also a fantastic gift. Just don't let anyone know how simple it is.
Ingredients
- 2 vanilla beans, split shopping list
- bourbon shopping list
How to make it
- Place the beans in a 1 cup jar with a porcelain lid.
- Fill with bourbon.
- Cover and let stand for 2 weeks.
- As you use the extract, you can replace what you uswe with more bourbon until the beans are expired.
- For a lighter extract use vodka.
- For a heavier extract use brandy.

20 beans in a fifth is only 3 beans per cup, which is only 50% more than the recipe here. Using vodka rather than bourbon necessarily makes a lighter extract.
Further, almost all so-called mexican vanilla is synthetic.
