Homemade Vanilla Extract
To make your own vanilla extract, rub two vanilla beans with the dull edge of a knife to evenly distribute the seeds, then cut the beans in half lengthwise, and place in a bottle of vodka or some other kind of liquor. Seal the bottle, and set in a cool, dark place for four to six months, shaking occasionally, until the flavor of the extract has mellowed. The clear vodka will turn a nice deep brown. When the extract is ready to be used, clean and sterilize several small bottles with screw-on lids, and fill with the homemade extract.
