    Vanilla Extract

    List of Ingredients

    2 C Vodka (use cheapest brand available)
    5 Vanilla Beans, cut in 1/2" pieces

    Recipe

    Combine Beans and Vodka in a jar, cover and let sit 6-8 weeks. Vodka should turn amber colored within a few days.
    Just give your Vanilla time and it will
    develop plenty of strength as you brew it. 6 months to a year
    is better, and of course the more beans you use the quicker it will
    gain strength.
    After half the Vanilla is used, add more Vodka to jar to cover Beans.
    The Beans have lost their flavor when the Vodka no longer turns amber.
    Yield: 2 Cups Extract
