VANILLA EXTRACT
Source of Recipe
Marla
List of Ingredients
1/2 C. brandy
1/4 C. water
3 or 4 vanilla beans
Recipe
Chop vanilla beans into small pieces. Do not lose any of the little
black seeds. Drop the pieces into a clean jar and cover with brandy
and water. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and keep in a dark place,
shaking every other day. Vanilla Extract will be ready in about 2
weeks. Add a tiny bit more brandy if the beans still seem potent. The
mixture can be added to indefinitely. Use just as you would regular
vanilla extract.
