Homemade Vanilla Extract
The Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas baking flavor is just roughly the corner and I decided to stock the pantry with baking supplies. Well, I was shocked at the increased cost of proficient graphic symbol vanilla; some of it is every bit high every bit $15 for only a few ounces!!
With that inward mind, I decided to build my receive vanilla, although I had NO CLUE how to practice it. After some Internet research, I was thrilled to learn that the process was SUPER EASY and only takes TWO ingredients (vodka inwards improver to vanilla beans)!!
At initiative off I was concerned because vanilla beans are non e'er inward my budget. I like McCormick build spices, but their cost for TWO vanilla beans is over $10!! Homemade vanilla extract would concord upward outrageously expensive at those prices, inwards improver to thence dorsum to the Internet.
I discovered that the best vanilla extracts are NOT made out of the same kind of vanilla beans that yous bake with (whew!! That was a relief.). Vanilla extract is made with Grade B vanilla extract beans (I didn't level know at that topographic betoken was such a thing). Google it inwards improver to yous testament regain a lot of places to buy them. Just build for sure they are labeled MADAGASCAR BOURBON EXTRACT GRADE B VANILLA BEANS.
The 6" beans aren't existent pretty to await at (they aren't plump inwards improver to supple inwards improver to yous CAN NOT bake with them), but they build GREAT extract. When yous club them, they testament run inward looking like this:
Supplies
1 quart of vodka (see note)
4 ounces of Madagascar Grade B extract vanilla beans
This makes a LOT of vanilla, but I possess got inward hear to pose it inward pretty picayune bottles inwards improver to tuck it into opor-garai gift baskets, inwards improver to thence a quart of extract is a proficient thing.
TIPS:
Don't waste matter production your money on expensive vodka, thinking that this testament build amend vanilla...it does not. Good news!! The cheapest vodka industrial institute only also every bit expensive vodka for this project!!
You testament need a jounce that is a fighting bigger than a quart since the vodka AND vanilla beans possess got to lucifer inward it (I learned that the hard way).
Cut the flat B extract vanilla beans into 1/2" pieces inwards improver to pose them into the quart of vodka..........that's it!! Now all yous possess got to practice is milk tremble the bottle a picayune (every few days) inwards improver to afterward on a month, it testament concord upward extract!! What could concord upward easier?
Before using the extract (or giving it away), strain the spent vanilla edible edible bean pieces out of the extract. If yous don't wish ANY vanilla seeds inward the extract, run the finished production through a coffee filter.
Decorative bottles like this are available online for close $2.50 each, they would build a pretty gift.
This extract testament concord upward proficient forever, or until the existent lastly drop. No need to refrigerate it.
