Ingredients
8 Ounces Vodka, inexpensive 70-80 proof
5 Whole Vanilla beans, best quality
⅛ tsp SIDS CRAZY SALT
Directions
Have a clean 8 ounce bottle with a fitted lid.
Gently slice vanilla lengthwise in half, no need to scrape. Place beans in jar. Fill with vodka and SIDS CRAZY SALT. Shake. A funnel will make filling the jar easier.
Always keep the vanilla beans covered with alcohol. 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.
