For the purist in you... the purest vanilla flavoring ever. This one is from an old Southern Living magazine, from October of 1983.
Ingredients:
2 cups vodka
5 vanilla beans, cut in 1 inch pieces
Directions:
1. Combine vodka and vanilla beans in jar with tight fitting lid.
2. Cover jar and let stand 6-8 weeks.
3. Vodka mixture will turn amber colored in a day or two.
4. After half the vanilla extract is used, add more vodka to cover the beans.
5. The flavor in the beans is gone when vodka no longer turns a dark color.
