How to Make Homemade Vanilla Extract (a great gift!)
If you'd like to gift adorable little Homemade Vanilla Extract bottles this holiday season, now is the time to start so it will be ready by December. It only requires vanilla beans and vodka to make this thoughtful gift or everyday baking product for your kitchen.
Servings 12 ounces
Ingredients
- 2 vanilla beans fresh
- 1 375-ml bottle vodka I buy a mid-grade brand like Smirnoff
Instructions
- Slit each vanilla bean down the center longways. Slide all four pieces into the vodka bottle.
- Let sit for a minimum of a couple weeks so it can start to infuse (the longer, the better).
- If desired, transfer to decorative glass food-safe bottles to give as gifts. I like to include a piece of vanilla bean in each bottle).
