Homemade Vanilla Extract

5 / 5 (1 reviews)

This recipe is written for 1 bottle of vanilla, but we recommend quadrupling or octupling the batch since it lasts forever, you can give it away as gifts, and it only gets better with time.

Chef's Notes

Notes
Use your homemade vanilla extract just as you would any vanilla from the store.
The bottle can be refilled with vodka as the vanilla is used, but if the vanilla beans are exposed, they will start to get slimy. If you don’t plan to refill the jar as you go, I recommend transferring the beans to a new jar and filling with vodka to repeat the process. You can get two batches of vanilla out of each set of beans before they start to lose their potency.
