Food Watch: Vanilla Extract Recipe

Or vanilla-flavored vodka. My sister taught me this the other day. She took 3/4 of a gallon of vodka and put in 60 vanilla beans that she got on special over the internet. She put them into a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and will let it sit for 6 months to make vanilla extract. She said comparatively speaking, she would save about $160 if she bought that much vanilla extract.

Vanilla Extract I also found this recipe. It calls for less vodka and vanilla beans, and less time fermenting.

I also read if you let it sit for about 4 days, it makes a great vanilla vodka.
