Homemade Vanilla Extract with Vanilla Beans! || Only Two ingredients! || DIY Tinctures
#vanillaextract #vanillabeans #homemadevanillaextract
Hey there friends!
Welcome back to my channel, thanks for joining me today! I'm super excited to share with you how to make your very own homemade vanilla extract right at home! Have ya'll seen the prices of vanilla extract in the store??? Holy cow...it's sooooooo expensive! Yikes!
With how much I cook and use vanilla in my home, I could never afford the teeny tiny bottles at the grocery store that cost an arm and a leg! Amen?
What if I told you that you could make vanilla extract in your own kitchen, super cheap and with just TWO ingredients?? It's true...and the best part is the amount of vanilla you can make with this recipe will last you months if not longer.
AMAZON ITEMS USED IN TODAY'S VIDEO:
Vanilla beans: (Amazon)
All you'll need is:
4 cups of vodka
8 vanilla beans
1 quart size mason jar with a lid
Simply split your vanilla beans in 1/2 and cut them into 3-ish pieces. Place the beans in your jar and cover with the vodka. Put the lid on and allow the vanilla beans to steep in the vodka for at least 2 months but you can leave it as long as 9-12 months! The longer your beans steep, the darker & more flavorful your vanilla will be!
This is also a GREAT gift for the holidays...inexpensive, super cute in a pretty little bottle all tied up with a bow! Who doesn't love vanilla? And now you can make it right in your own kitchen...trust me, once you make homemade vanilla, you'll never buy it from the store again.
I hope you like this video. Cheers!

Vanilla Extract is Super Simple to Make at Home!
Learn how to make homemade vanilla extract! All you need is two ingredients and a little bit of patience! I’m including all my tips and tricks, and a free printable!
Recipe:
Vanilla Beans:
Ingredients
½ cup vodka¹ (118ml)
2-3 whole vanilla beans² (I use grade B Madagascar vanilla beans, see note. Two vanilla beans yield a standard and flavorful vanilla, 3 will yield an extra strong flavor.)

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:22 Thoroughly clean, wash, and dry bottles and lids that you’ll be using. Cut vanilla beans so that they will fit inside your bottles.
00:41 Split beans lengthwise so that the tiny seeds are exposed.
01:02 Place cut vanilla beans in bottle. Fit funnel over the top of the bottle and add liquor until the beans are fully submerged. Leave a little bit of space at the top of the bottle so that you will be able to shake the contents as they sit.
02:16 Add label, if using, but make sure to mark the date that the vanilla was bottled. Store in a cool, dark place and shake occasionally. Store vanilla for at least 3 months before using.
Notes
¹Alternatively, for a richer flavor you can substitute bourbon. A mid-shelf liquor is perfect for this recipe, don’t bother with splurging on anything expensive as it’s not worth it in the end result. I usually use Smirnoff brand but anything similar will work
²I typically buy my beans from Beanilla.com and have always been satisfied with the high quality, plump beans. I have read bad reviews from people who have purchased from Amazon, so proceed with caution if you choose that route.
Storing
Store in a cool, dark place. Homemade vanilla should keep for up to 5 years, but if it smells unpleasant or is cloudy you should discard. You can replenish your vanilla extract supply by simply adding more alcohol as you use it.

Ingredients:

Instructions:
Place the beans in a tall glass airtight container. Pour the vodka over the beans, making sure they are completely covered.
Place in a cool, dark place, agitating once per week to incorporate the vanilla essence into the vodka. For optimal flavor, it's best if the extract sits for one year before use.
