This lasts for years. You can keep topping it off with vodka once in a while as you use it; just remember to give it a good shake. You can also make vanilla sugar by putting a split vanilla bean into a jar of white sugar.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality vanilla beans: The quality of your vanilla beans will directly affect the flavor of your extract. Look for beans that are plump, moist, and have a strong, sweet aroma.
  • Split the vanilla beans lengthwise: This will help to release the flavor of the beans more easily.
  • Use a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid: This will help to prevent the evaporation of the alcohol and keep your extract fresh.
  • Store the extract in a cool, dark place: This will help to preserve the flavor of the extract.
  • Allow the extract to age for at least 8 weeks: This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.
  • Use your extract sparingly: A little bit of vanilla extract goes a long way.

Conclusion:

Making your own vanilla extract is a rewarding experience. It is a great way to save money and get a delicious, high-quality extract that you can use in all of your favorite recipes. With a little patience, you can create a delicious, homemade vanilla extract that will add a touch of flavor to all your favorite dishes.
