Did you know that homemade vanilla extract is just vanilla beans and liquor (and time!)? My go to ratio is about 1 ounce of fresh beans for every 8 ounces of alcohol. Vodka will give you classic vanilla flavor, bourbon makes it warm and cozy and rum adds a rich slightly sweet note. The longer it sets the better it gets. I’ve used mine as soon as three months after starting, but these days I keep a backlog and prefer to let mine go at least a year before I open it! It’s simple, easy, cheaper than buying from the store, and makes the best gift for bakers. ✨If you want allllll of the info including detailed instructions, tips like which beans at work best how to store etc. just let me know and I’ll send it to your inbox! sugarspunrun.com/make-your-own-vanilla-extract #baker #homemade #diy #whatibakedtoday #recipe
