Create your own vanilla essence at home with this simple and rewarding recipe.
Pour the vodka into a sterilized glass jar.
Use a funnel to avoid spills when pouring the vodka.
Slice the vanilla beans lengthwise to expose the seeds.
A sharp knife makes slicing the beans easier and safer.
Place the sliced vanilla beans into the jar with the vodka.
Ensure the beans are fully submerged in the vodka for optimal extraction.
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place.
Label the jar with the date to track the steeping time.
Shake the jar gently every few days to mix the contents.
Shaking helps distribute the vanilla flavor evenly.
After 2 months, the vanilla essence is ready to use.
The longer you let it steep, the stronger the flavor will be.
