Vanilla Extract DIY Hack
Make a never-ending vanilla extract from simple ingredients.
Equipment
- Air tight jar, amber coloured best
Ingredients
- Vodka
- 3 Vanilla pods
Instructions
- Split the vanilla beans lengthways and place into a jar.
- Pour the vodka into the jar to cover the pods.
- Seal, shake and store in a cool dark place for up to a month. Shake a few times each week.
- Add more alcohol as you use the vanilla extract.
Notes
The flavour becomes more intense the longer you keep it. As you use the extract over time, you will want to add another vanilla bean or two to increase the waning flavour.
