HOW TO MAKE VANILLA EXTRACT

How to Make Vanilla Extract image

Make the BEST homemade vanilla extract with more flavor than store-bought! It will enhance your baking and it also makes the perfect gifts!

Provided by Kimberly Killebrew

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

5-6 Grade B Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans
or Tahitian Vanilla Beans
or Mexican Vanilla Beans
1 cup 80 proof alcohol
2 ounce brown glass jars
4 ounce brown glass jars
Metal funnel for pouring
For "single-fold" vanilla extract
For "double-fold" vanilla extract

Steps:

Cut the vanilla beans in half lengthwise and scrape out the vanilla flecks inside. Add the flecks and the beans to the vodka in a glass jar with a fitted lid. Make sure the vanilla beans are submerged under the alcohol otherwise any exposed parts can become slimy and potentially ruin your extract. Place the extract in a dark, cool place, shaking occasionally for the first few weeks. The extract "can" be used in as little as 8 weeks but it won't have reached optimal potency. The extract gets better with age. For far better results use after 6 months and for optimal results wait 12 months.
Once the extract is ready, place the funnel on the glass jars and fill them with the extract. If you like, to get even more flavor out of the beans as the extract ages, slice the used vanilla beans to fit the length of the jars and place about 2 pieces in the 2-ounce jars and 4 pieces in the 4-ounce jars. That way the extract will continue to "ripen" as it sits.Makes 1 cup or 8 ounces of premium vanilla extract*See blog post about how to reuse vanilla beans
