Homemade Vanilla Extract
Description
This delightful homemade vanilla extract is easy to make and perfect for gift-giving.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750ml Bottle) Good Quality Vodka
- 3 whole Vanilla Beans Per Container
- 10 jars (Small Jars) With Tight-fitting Lids
Preparation
For each jar of extract you would like to make:
Slice three vanilla beans down the center, being careful not to cut through them so that they will release their seeds. Place all 3 vanilla beans into each jar and then fill each jar with vodka. Don’t quite fill to the top.
Place the lids on tightly. Store them in a dark and cool place. Give the jars a good shake once a week. Vanilla extract will be ready to use in approximately 8 weeks.
Buon Appetito!

Thank you! Leaving them in the jar is perfect. Vanilla sugar… what a great idea! I appreciate the advice. My vanilla is almost ready and is so pretty. I am excited! Again, thanks for sharing.

@okilisa You actually leave the vanilla beans in the jar with the vodka. But if you have other recipes that call for vanilla beans and then to discard I love to let them dry out and when they’re completely dry then I put them into my sugar jar so I have vanilla sugar : ) Hope that helps.

@lgloll I’ve never made one that large but in theory it sounds like it would work. If you try it let me know : )
