Ingredients:

  • vanilla beans. don'tsp get the old crummy expensive ones from the store. serving them online, or go to a health food store, it is worth it.
  • vodka or bourbon, i get , but i like it to be clear when it starts so i know how dark the beans have made it, bourbon

Directions:

  1. 1 - assemble your beans and kitchen shears, or a sharp knife (paring knife would be great):
  2. 2 - cut vanilla bean in half, leaving about 1/2-1 inch at the top intact. They're easier to cut than it looks like. The consistency is similar to that of a pepperoni stick:
  3. 3 - find a glass jar with a secure lid. I used a quart sized canning jar. Fold the beans in to the jar:
  4. 4 - pour 2 cups (for every 6 vanilla beans) of your choice of liquor in to jar:
  5. 5 - put lid on jar, and shake a few times.
  6. Store in a cool, dry place for 8-12 weeks.
  7. The longer you let it sit, the stronger the vanilla flavor will be.
  8. Shake the jars every few days to speed the process.
  9. When ready to give as gifts (hypothetically speaking of course), pour in to individual bottles.
  10. I found a great deal at /.
  11. As you use the extract, replace with a little bourbon or vodka, and the beans should last for a few years.
  12. And now you have a lovely gift, that is frugal to give, and isn't full of additives and high fructose corn syrup.
