Recipe featured at the Atlantic Spice Company in Cape Cod. Of course this can be decreased to make less. See instructions below. I make my own homemade vanilla all the time. I like the Mexican vanilla beans the best although Tahitian is also great
Ingredients
- 20 vanilla beans shopping list
- 1/2 gallon vodka or brandy shopping list
- 1 gallon glass jar shopping list
- smaller amount: shopping list
- 1 vanilla bean shopping list
- 2 oz liquor shopping list
How to make it
- Split vanilla beans with sharp knife
- Add beans and liquor to the glass jar
- Seal jar and shake
- Cure for 3 to 4 months, inverting jar twice a week
- Extract should be rich in vanilla flavor and more concentrated than commercial extracts
- FOR SMALLER AMOUNTS:
- use 1 bean for every 2 oz of liquer
- shake twice a week
- cure for 3 months
