Homemade vanilla extract has a rich and delightful aroma that's unparalleled. Natural vanilla extract is obtained from vanilla beans with the addition of alcohol. Pure vanilla extract should be dark brown in color, like the vanilla beans used to extract it.



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:


Vanilla extract

  • 1 clean glass jar or bottle (480 ml) with a tight-fitting lid
  • 480 ml of vodka
  • 5 vanilla pods

Almonds with vanilla extract

  • 1 beaten egg white
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups whole almonds
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Vanilla extract


    Using a sharp knife, split the vanilla bean lengthwise to expose the seeds. Place the bean in a jar or bottle and fill with vodka. Close the jar, shake it a few times, and store in a cool, dark place. Let the jar sit for 6-8 weeks, shaking it 1-2 times a week. The mixture will darken over time. When the extract begins to reduce in volume, add more vodka and shake. Also, whenever you use a vanilla bean, don't hesitate to return it to the jar after use. This will saturate the vanilla extract, making it last almost forever.
  2. Vanilla sugar


    Split 2 vanilla beans and scrape out the seeds into an airtight container with 3 cups of granulated sugar. Coat the pods with sugar and seal tightly. Let the sugar sit for 2 weeks. Use as you would regular granulated sugar.

  3. Vanilla Almond


    Preheat oven to 150°C. Whisk the egg whites with vanilla extract, add the almonds, and mix well. Combine the sugar, salt, and cinnamon and stir into the mixture. Arrange in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 150°C for 20 minutes. Remove and cool on parchment paper, separating the nuts.
