Recipe of the Week
From the taste kitchen of Dr. Sarah Laginess and Family
Homemade Vanilla Extract
Ingredients
- 2 vanilla beans fresh
- 1 375-ml bottle vodka I buy a mid-grade brand like Smirnoff
Directions
- Slit each vanilla bean down the center longways. Slide all four pieces into the vodka bottle.
- Let sit for a minimum of a couple weeks so it can start to infuse.
- If desired, transfer to decorative glass food-safe bottles to give as gifts.
Notes:
- This makes a nice gift.
- I used individual vanilla beans and placed them into decorative bottles and added the vodka to those.
- I purchased the vanilla beans at Costco.
- I found the decorative bottles at Target but you could also find them at a craft store or on-line.
