Vanilla Extract with Just 3 Ingredients.

                   How to Make Vanilla Extract

Let's talk beans first.... What's your flavor???? Not sure let me help you!

Do you prefer bold and smokey? If so, try Ugandan vanilla beans. Traditional, rich and creamy? Use Madagascar Vanilla Beans! Floral aroma with a unique cherry-chocolate flavor? Venture to the Tahitian vanilla beans. You can even blend various varieties together! The floral, fruity, cherry like notes of the Tahitian variety blend wonderfully with the nutty-chocolate character of the Bourbon varieties.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. Glass Bottle or Jar
• 7 Vanilla Beans
• 1 cup Vodka 70 Proof/35% Alcohol (or you can also use Bourbon, Rum or Brandy; any brand/quality) I perfer Tito's

Step 1: SLICE

Slice each bean once long-ways and place in bottle. 

(If it helps to cut them into smaller. Think tootsie roll-sized pieces. They will have to fit in the bottle).

Step 2: POUR

Pour one cup of vodka, rum or alcohol of your choice (Don't cheat and drink it... it must be the entire cup). You want to make sure vanilla beans are completely submerged.

Step 3: SHAKE

Shake the bottle once or twice a week - Shake it.. Baby .. Shake it! Dance too!!  (makes for a great photo-op)

Step 4: Be Patient

It will be ready in about 8 weeks (plenty of time to research oodles of scrumptious Baking Recipes)

BAM!!!! Your alcohol has turned into delectable vanilla! You would want to store it at room temp. Ohhhh keep it out of direct sunlight. ENJOY!!!!!!
