You Will Need
-
Step 1
Use 3 vanilla beans per 1 cup liquor. Scale the quantities up or down as much as you’d like (I made 1 1/2 quarts!).
-
Step 2
Slice each vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape the insides a bit to loosen the good stuff, and chop the beans into 1-2 inch pieces. No need to be precise.
-
Step 3
Combine the measured liquor and vanilla beans in the bottle(s) of your choice.
-
Step 4
Done! Let sit in a dark, cool place for 2-3 months before using. Shake the bottles every few days.
-
Step 5
When the vanilla is ready, it will be dark brown in color. Use as directed in any recipe.
