| Vanilla Extract | |
| Commercial vanilla extract usually has simple syrup (sugar water) added to the extract to give it a sweet aftertaste. You can do this if you want, but if you are using the vanilla for baking, there really is no need. Ingredients | |
| 3 | vanilla beans |
| 1 cup | vodka |
| * glass jar with tight fitting lid Method 1 Use kitchen scissors or a sharp paring knife to cut lengthwise down each | |
| vanilla bean, splitting them in half, leaving an inch at the end connected. | |
2 Put vanilla beans in a glass jar or bottle with a tight fitting lid (mason
jars work well). Cover completely with the vodka.
3 Give the bottle a good shake every once in a while. Store in a dark, cool
place for 2 months or longer.
Lasts for years. You can keep topping it off with vodka once in a while as
you use it, just remember to give it a good shake.
You can also make vanilla sugar by putting a split vanilla bean into a jar
of white, granulated sugar. Great way to infuse the sugar with vanilla
flavor for baking.
