    How to Make Home-Made Vanilla Extract

    So I was curious how to make my own vanilla...so I learned How to Make Home-Made Vanilla Extract!  So you make your own homemade extract out of vodka and beans??  

    Surprisingly, I found this out when I was about to order some quality vanilla beans @Beanilla and they have the recipe right on their website.  

    extract in the making

    Pure vanilla extract is made from whole vanilla beans.

    And this method is easy-peasy and an alternatively cheap way to make vanilla.

    Pure vanilla can be quite expensive and I know around here, it seems like I'm always running out. So, for this home-made vanilla extract, I picked Madagascar Vanilla Beans as my vanilla of choice!

    Bourbon vanilla beans from Madagascar are superior, with flavor and aromatic qualities that make Madagascar vanilla beans the most popular and sought after vanilla variety.

    It's so rich, dark and creamy with an overwhelming sweet, buttery aroma and it's well suited for many baking recipes, drinks, and desserts.  So we are good to go!
