Vanilla Extract
You can’t have homemade desserts without homemade vanilla extract. I have made vanilla extract for 3 years and now it’s all I’ll ever use. Be sure to use this when making Easy Vanilla Granola!
Here is where you can find glass bottles.

Method
- Using a knife, slice down the middle of the vanilla bean length wise to expose the beans. Cut the bean as needed to fit into your bottle or leave whole. Then place 10 beans in each 8 oz jar
- Using a funnel if needed pour your alcohol of choice into the bottle so the beans are fully submerged. Put the lid on and shake a few times.
- Store Vanilla out of direct sunlight at room temperature. Shake once every couple of weeks. Vanilla made with vodka can be ready in 6 months, but 12 months is best. Darker alcohol takes 12 to 18 months.
