DIY Vanilla Extract

This week I decided to post about a DIY I started a few weeks ago. It’s a DIY Vanilla Extract. If you follow me on Pinterest than you’ve seen that I actually ended up pinning FOUR different recipes for this. Ops!

Anyways, it’s a super simple recipe. Vodka and vanilla beans. That’s it! I used 2 cups vodka (or you can use rum according to some sources) and I currently have 2 beans. I plan to add a few more as time goes by but it’s already getting a great caramel color.

The picture above is about 1 1/2 – 2 weeks of soaking. Also, if you’d like to see one of the original recipes, check out the pin below.
