Vanilla Extract

Directions

1. 1
   Slice down the center of each bean pod to expose the seeds.
2. 2
   Place them in one 16 ounce mason jar or split between two 8 ounce mason jars then cover with vodka.
3. 3
   Twist on the lid and shake.
4. 4
   Place in a dark cool place for at least 30 days.
5. 5
   I check on them once a week and give them a shake.
6. 6
   Sometimes I just keep the vanilla pods in the vanilla and just add a ribbon and a tag or I sometimes strain out the the bean pods and pour the extract into a smaller container.
7. 7
   Note: You will also need one 16 ounce or two 8 ounce mason jars with lids and rings.
