Homemade Vanilla-DIY
2 comments » 
Are you tired of the price of vanilla these days? Me too! A friend of mine years back gave me a bottle of homemade vanilla for a gift, unfortunately I had two little babies and no time to cook and no appreciation of that thoughtful gift. I ran into that old friend not too long ago and instantly homemade vanilla came to my mind–weird, I know, but it got me thinking about making it on my own. With the bottled price being so high these days, I surely thought it was a huge undertaking to make it on my own. I give this recipe to you now, in the hopes that you will make some for yourself or a loved one and it will be ready by Christmas–always thinking…
Homemade Vanilla-DIY
Ingredients:
8 ounces of vodka-any cheap vodka will do
3 vanilla beans-halved down the middle to expose the beansDirections:
Put these two ingredients in a cute decorative bottle and store in a cool, dry place for about 2 months. Then use to your heart's content and know that you have not only saved a ton of money, but you have an endless supply of vanilla as long you store a new bottle every time you start using the first one.
Love it!! Your bottles are so nice. We have the same idea for Christmas this year, they are smelling so good!
