This is the recipe I use for homemade vanilla it's easy to make and somewhat cheaper than the store bought - plan ahead this needs to steep at least 2 months or even longer for a more stronger taste even 6 months would be better - use as you would any commercial vanilla, the more vanilla beans that you use and the longer you let it sit for, the stronger the vanilla will be. Ingredients:
4 -8 whole vanilla beans (cut in half) |
2 cups vodka |
Directions:
1. Cut the vanilla beans in half lengthwise.
2. Divide among two narrow bottles that hold about 1 cup each.
3. Vanilla beans may be cut crosswise, if necessary to fit.
4. Add the vodka to cover (1 cup in each bottle).
5. Let sit for at least 2 months before using (the longer the better even 6 months would be the best).
6. ***NOTE*** You can use as many vanilla beans as you wish, they are quite expensive, so I use up to 6 and just let sit for a longer period of time for a more stronger vanilla taste, but you may certainly add in 20 if you wish, but the cost is expensive.
7. Remember, the longer the sitting time, the stronger the vanilla!
