The easiest vanilla extract tutorial for beginners

Vanilla extract is very easy to make- all it takes is a jar, vanilla beans, alcohol of choice, and patience.
Happy brewing!
Vanilla Extract:
1. Place 4 ounces of vanilla beans into a 1 quart jar
2. Cover with alcohol of choice (I recommend vodka for beginners)
3. Let sit in a cool dark place for 1 year
And you have fragrant, amazing homemade vanilla to elevate your baked goods or to gift to your loved ones.

hi mm 🤗
this is exactly what I do ... but sometimes it's hard to wait a year. i do crush some of the beans and wait at least 4 months. tfs

@@HealyMeans It definitely is so hard to wait! Thankfully I’ve been able to start multiple jars at different times, so I haven’t had to wait for another batch after we polish one off
