DIY Vanilla Extract


4/1/10
UPDATE: Finally got around to getting the supplies to make this. Here she is, a week later. 1 madagascar bean, sliced lengthwise, in 1 cup of unflavored vodka.

I am cheap. So when I found out that vanilla extract was nothing more than vanilla beans soaked in vodka for 3+ months, I had to try it. It's gonna be a long wait for this photo op. Check the Italian Dish's post on the subject til then.

  1. Vodka is also an affordable base to make your own liqueurs, e.g. amaretto or coffee liqueur. Have done both w/ delicious results =)
