Last year around Christmas I saw a recipe in a magazine for homemade vanilla extract. I clipped it and hoped to remember to do it the following year. Surprisingly, I did. On October 1st, I bought a few bottles of vodka, a lot of vanilla beans, and began the process.
I cannot find that clipping now, but this recipe is similar.
I stored the vanilla infused vodka in a dark closet for about two and a half months, shaking it weekly.
Before I poured it into individual bottles, it looked like this. I was hoping for it to be a bit darker by now, but oh well.
It was a really fun gift to make, and it was super easy. Let's just hope it tastes good!
Those are so cute! What a great homemade gift idea. :) It does take planning though! I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever decide to try it.

Love it! What a great idea!!! I received a batch of this as a wedding shower gift years ago (we're coming upon our 16th anniversary) and I loved it… Have been meaning to make more. I think you've inspired me to give it a try. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. Seriously, Britt. This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHi Britt! I've made this and it turns out great! I used what looks like the same little glass bottles and kept 1 vanilla bean in each. Baking with it turned out wonderful. Such a sweet idea!
ReplyDeleteSo good to know, Carolyn! I'm anxious to try it :)
