Vanilla Extract






















It's really easy to make and it tastes so much better than store bought vanilla. All you need is vodka, a couple vanilla beans and a jar. I found good vanilla beans from Madagascar at Rainbow Grocery, and just used cheap vodka from the corner store.

Make sure to cut the beans so that the bean is fully submerged in the vodka. You can either scrape out the inside of the beans and add them to the mix or you can drop in the whole bean without doing anything to it. I prefer to just drop the vanilla beans in, it takes longer (about a month) but it doesn't leave any vanilla floaters in the extract.
