Vanilla Extract is a solution made by macerating vanilla beans in ethanol and this solution is used as flavouring agent in desserts, especially for baked products and shakes.
Collect all the required ingredients and equipment like 4 to 5 vanilla beans, ¾ cup vodka and jar or bottle.
Cut the vanilla beans vertically from middle using knife or chop them into smaller pieces.
Take a jar/bottle add the vanilla beans and pour the vodka, stir lightly with stirrer.
Make sure beans are completely immersed into the vodka.
Now store the jar/bottle at cool and dry place.
Stir the beans once a week and allow beans to steep in vodka for at least a month.
After completion of period, you can notice the changes in color from transparent to dark brown.
Notes
