Vanille Extract & Vodka

I can’t have regular vanilla vodka so I have to keep this recipe for later when I can drink alcohol again! (I’m still testing my no sugars right now.)

My method is pretty easy: I use vodka but grain alcohol should work fine. I cut about 25-30 madagascar vanilla beans down the middle but not quite all the way through. Add them to a large vodka bottle and shake every few days. Store in a dark place and let it sit 4 weeks or so. It lasts forever and makes great gifts 🙂 When I do it as gifts I use a 4oz bottle and put half of a bean in the bottle then pour the extract over it.
You can also make lemon extract with lemon zest and alcohol. Or orange. Its limitless. Good luck!

I have to look up the vodka recommended later.
