Homemade Vanilla Extract

Waiting...

After making the sunflower butter, I had 2 leftover vanilla beans. Because they are so expensive, I decided to try to make my own vanilla extract. There are a lot of recipes for this, but I followed this particular one because it makes a small, affordable batch. (http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2012/02/make-your-own-vanilla-extract.html)



It’s very simple- I took the 2 hulled vanilla beans and 8 ounces of the cheapest vodka I could find and combined them in a jam jar. This mixture should be left to sit for about 2 months, then can be used for future baking ventures.
