Equipment

  • 1 sealable glass bottle or jar

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut the vanilla bean in half so that it will be completely covered by the vodka.
  • Place the 2 halves of the vanilla bean in the bottle. Carefully pour 12 ounces of vodka into the bottle.
  • Seal the bottle and give it a nice shake. Store in a cool, dark place and shake every 1-2 days. After 14 days your homemade vanilla vodka will be ready to enjoy. Strain the vanilla beans from the vodka and store the vodka in the sealable glass bottle.

Notes

  • This is a small batch recipe. If you want to make more, use a full bottle of vodka and 2 vanilla beans. 
  • After 12-14 days, remove the vanilla beans from the vodka or you will end up with vanilla extract. Don't throw the beans away, you can still use them for baking!
