"Complete with step-by-step pictures, this tutorial will show you how to make the best vanilla extract at less than half the price of store-bought!..."
INGREDIENTS
•
Grade B Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans ((grade B is specifically meant for extracting but if you have grade A those will also work))
•
Vodka (80 proof (vodka has the most neutral flavor but you can also use bourbon, brandy, or even rum as long as it's 80 proof))
•
2 ounce brown glass jars
•
4 ounce brown glass jars
•
Metal funnel for pouring
•
For single-fold vanilla extract (like the kind you find in most stores: Use .8 ounces (or 22 grams) of vanilla beans per 1 cup of vodka)
•
For double-fold vanilla extract (much stronger flavor and many professional bakers prefer it: Use 1.6 ounces (or 44 grams) of vanilla beans per 1 cup of vodka))
