INGREDIENTS}
12 vanilla beans
1 bottle of vodka (any brand)
12 2oz glass bottles
The ratio you’re going for is half an ounce vanilla bean per 4 ounces of vodka.
{INSTRUCTIONS}
Lightly slice each vanilla bean down the middle – without slicing through – to expose paste inside the bean. Add one vanilla bean to each bottle – you may need to fold to insert. Then, pour vodka over bean inside each bottle until nearly full. Screw top on tightly, then allow to sit for 3-12 months. Shake bottles each month to distribute flavors. Use after at least three months, but 6-12 months is best!
