First vanilla beans & vodka
Cut beans length wise & scrap seeds into jar.
Put vanilla beans into jar.
Pour in vodka to cover beans. Put jar in the a dark cupboard. Let sit 3-6 months.
Shake every month or so. Don't forget to write date on the lid
Cost analysis: $5.99 for organic beans, $18.99 for a liter of vodka. I probably used about $4.00 worth of vodka (overestimate). So $9.99 total. The jar holds 1 pint = 16 fl oz. Amazon has vanilla on sale 8 oz for $10.17. I made double for the same price & didn't have to pay shipping. I'm ready to bake some chocolate cookies!
