    I have been making my own vanilla for about 30 years. It’s so much better and my friends love being gift recipients. So easy to make. I’ve been buying vanilla beans on Amazon for awhile. Homemade is so much better! I put the vanilla beans directly into the vodka bottle place in a dark cabinet. I shake it maybe once a week. When it’s time for use (the longer the better.) I add the delicious vanilla to separate brown jars. Then I scape the vanilla caviar from each bean and let it dry and add it to sugar to make vanilla sugar.

    Its 1 ounce of beans per 8 oz of alcohol for single fold, 2 ounce of beans for 8 oz of alcohol and it should steep for at least 12-18 months depending on alcohol used. Anything less is flavoured alcohol and not extract. Double fold is the best. Bless you both. 🙏🏼 🤗. Once the vanilla has steeped dry the beans and put in sugar for a month or longer for vanilla sugar.

    Girl, use that big vodka jar for a vanilla ‘mother’ jar! My mother jar was initially started when I first started making my own vanilla. It just gets better and better with age🥰

      @@monamorgan9452 I use a half gallon mason jar, topped off with vodka at all times and keep vanilla beans in it. I’ll keep new whole beans in it if I’m not ready to do my individual jars, all of the cut off tips, and spent beans. Spent as in, completed first extraction, seeds scraped for paste, and hulls sugared. I started it in 2018 with my very first batch and have been adding beans/vodka to it since then. I primarily use Madagascar beans but have used 2 other varieties over the years and always vodka. I’ll use it for baking when I’m in between batches but that doesn’t happen often because I have individual jars at different stages. Hope that helps 💞

    When I saw this, I was almost afraid to watch. (I may have done mine wrong!😮) But, I didn't!! Yeayyy!!! 😂
    I made 8 8oz bottles last May! They should be pretty good by Christmas! The only thing is I have a few beans left, so I guess I'll throw them...I appreciate knowing the 1:1 ratio. That helps!!
    Ziggy is getting big! ❤

    I made 2 bottles last year - one with volka and one with bourbon. They are 19 months old. I personally prefer the one with volka in it.
    For Christmas, I have my daughter a bottle. She says she needs more. She loves it. It is so much better than store bought.
    I always save my amber bottles.

      Nope, hip specialists actually recommend this position for hip development, the legs hanging down type carriers can actually cause hip dysplasia. Also, do you realize that babies all around the world are carried like this, and have been for millennia? If this caused bowleggedness, much of the world's population would be bow-legged.

    Thank you, thank you for the reminder! Eight months ago I started vanilla for use this holiday season and gifting and have not once thought about it this summer. Experimenting this year with Madagascar beans in white rum, vodka, spiced rum, and bourbon. Making in pint jars and will decant in a couple of months and we'll see what's a keeper and what's not. This is so personal for everyone.

    You made this vanilla extract way more complicated than it needed to be…..just slice all the vanilla beans down the middle lengthwise, and put them into the large 360 Vodka bottle….shake it once in a while. when ready use a funnel and pour the now ready vanilla extract into the smaller bottles. I have been making vanilla extract for decades….I always keep ALL the vanilla beans in the “mother bottle” as I gift some of the extract, I top off the mother bottle…..this way you will never run out of vanilla extract

      Really just cut bean in half. Don't even need to slice down middle. OMG I did my first time like that & took all the caviar & put in the alcohol. Took so long. Now I just cut in half, put alcohol in a quart mason jar & add everything.
