How to Make Vanilla Extract
Ingredients
- 6–7 beans for a quart of vanilla (or just 2 for a half pint) (like these)
- Vodka to fill jar
Instructions
- Split the beans lengthwise
- Then chop into 3-4 inch pieces
- Place the beans into your glass jar and fill to the top with vodka
- Steep 2 to 8 months (2 months should be fine for a pint, but the longer is sits the better it gets so no worries if you forget about it for a few months)
