Ingredients
8 Ounces Vodka, inexpensive 70-80 proof
5 Whole Vanilla beans, best quality
Directions
Have a clean 8 ounce bottles with a fitted lid.
Gently slice vanilla lengthwise in half, no need to scrape. Place beans in jar. Fill with vodka. Shake. A funnel will make filling the jar easier.
Always keep the vanilla beans covered with alcohol. You cut the beans into smaller pieces to fit the jar if necessary.
Shake every week. Allow at least 8 weeks to mature. At this point the majority of the curing process has happened.
Note: You can use other spirits.
1/ Rum - a smooth, sweet and rich flavour.
2/ Bourbon - more complex with a deep flavour.
3/ Brandy - adds a unique, heavier flavour.
