- 4 vanilla pods
- 250 ml 1 cup good quality vodka
Cut the vanilla pods in half lengthwise
Using a sharp knife cut down the length of each section to reveal the seeds. Don't cut the pod in half, just score it
Place the half pods that have been scored into a small jar
Fill the jar with vodka, place the lid on and shake well
Place in a cool dark place for a couple of months, shaking every now and again until the vodka turns a dark brown
Use in any recipe calling for vanilla extract! Bear in mind that if the recipe isn't cooked it may be a bit alcoholic!
When you are running low, top up with vodka and leave for a few weeks again!
