Homemade Vanilla Extract

1. 1

   To make homemade vanilla extract you simply put a couple of split vanilla beans in a glass jar, pour vodka over it and cover tightly.

2. 2

   Let cure for 6 weeks or longer.

3. 3

   Once or twice a week shake your jar/jars of homemade extract.

4. 4

   Store in a dark cool spot.

5. 5

   If your vanilla beans are longer than your jar is tall, cut the beans in half and then split them.

6. 6

   For a half-pint mason jar, use 3 to 4 vanilla beans.

7. 7

   The more beans you add, the stronger your vanilla will be.

8. 8

   Once your extract has cured, you can leave your beans in the jar as you use it.

9. 9

   When your jar starts getting low, simply add more vodka.
