How To Make Homemade Vanilla Extract
Report
Knowing how to make homemade vanilla extract from vanilla beans is soooo simple and creates something that's soooo complex. You may never go back to store-bought. We won't.

Ingredients
- 1 2/3 cups brandy
- 1 2/3 cups vodka
- 5 Vanilla Beans preferably Tahitian or Bourbon, split and seeds scraped
- 3 ounces vanilla extract preferably Tahitian or Bourbon (optional)
Instructions
- In a 1-quart glass jar, combine the brandy, vodka, vanilla pods and seeds, and vanilla extract, if using. Place the lid on the jar and let the mixture sit in a cool, dark place for at least 3 months. [Editor's Note: The optional vanilla extract boosts the flavor quickly, but it’s by no means necessary. Another way to intensify the vanilla flavor is to save vanilla pods whose seeds you've scraped for another recipe and occasionally toss them in the jar.]
- If gifting, decant the extract into small bottles and screw on the lid or insert a cork or find some other way to tightly seal the bottle. It will last indefinitely at room temperature.
