Natural vanilla extract is easy to make at home. Simply steep a bunch of vanilla beans in a bottle of vodka and let it steep for at least a month. After six months, the aroma will be even more intense. The extract can be stored indefinitely. You can add more vodka or vanilla to the jar. Another great thing about this method is that once the beans are soft, you can cut off the ends and squeeze out the seeds for use in desserts and baked goods.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.
2/3 cup (st.) - 160 ml.
1/2 cup (st.) - 125 ml.
1/3 cup (st.) - 80 ml.
1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.
1 tablespoon (tbsp) - 15 ml.
1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.
1/5 teaspoon (tsp) - 1 ml.

Ingredients for the recipe:


  • 12 vanilla pods
  • 1 bottle of vodka
