Vanilla Extract
Here's how to make your own vanilla extract at home and it's so much better than the commonly purchased commercial variety...plus it makes a wonderful gift, too! A bit of advice though, telephone around to local stores that supply whole vanilla beans and compare their prices which can range from as high as $3.50 (or more) a bean to as low as $1.00 a bean!
List of Ingredients
6 vanilla beans, split
1 (fifth) bottle vodka
Combine split beans with vodka in a 1-quart glass jar.
Store jar in a dark, cool place for a minimum of 2 weeks if you're in a hurry, but 1 month to 6 weeks is much better.
Makes 1 quart.
