Steps:
- Combine the vanilla beans and vodka in a jar tall enough to hold the vanilla beans. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for at least a month until the vodka becomes vanilla extract and the beans are soft enough to cut the end and squeeze the seeds out. Add more vanilla or beans, as needed. The extract can sit at room temperature indefinitely.
MAKE YOUR OWN VANILLA EXTRACT!
A basic recipe for homemade vanilla extract, with a variation using sweetener, to make it taste more like store bought vanilla. Corn syrup or sugar helps extract and develop the flavor from the vanilla pods (corn syrup dissolves more easily). Using a variety of vanilla pods (Madagascar, Indonesia, Tahitian, Mexican) will produce a vanilla extract with a much more complex flavor and aroma. Try using Madagascar pods as a base, adding Tahitian and Mexican pods for additional flavor/fragrance notes. Vodka is used most often(you can also use rum or brandy) because it usually has the hightest alcohol content. You can double or triple this recipe.

Steps:
- Using a sharp kitchen knife, cut a lengthwise slit down the middle of each vanilla bean.
- Cut vanilla beans into 1/2-3/4 inch pieces.
- Pour vodka into your container. If using corn syrup, add and shake to dissolve syrup. Sugar can be used, but is harder to dissolve.
- Add vanilla beans to container and shake.
- Keep vanilla extract in a cool, dark place, with the bottle tightly closed, to prevent evaporation and loss of flavor.
- Once each day, vigorously shake the container for 30-seconds.
- It will take at least 30 days for the vanilla extract to mature. The longer it sits, the stronger it gets. I know people who make this in July and don't use until December, when baking time begins and to use for gifts.
- Shake vanilla bottle before each use.
- As the contents of the bottle are poured out, top it up occasionally with additional vodka and a bit more corn syrup; about once a year add a couple more finely chopped vanilla pods.
- Occasionally spoon out some of the mass of vanilla pods that settle to the bottom of the jar for when you want a very intense vanilla flavor (such as homemade vanilla ice cream or butter/vanilla pretzel cookies).
- Another thing you could do is to remove some the vanilla beans from the alcohol, dry them thoroughly and place them in a canister of sugar to make vanilla sugar.
- You may want to use one-fourth to one-third the amount called for in most recipes as this has a very strong vanilla flavor.
- Small flecks of the vanilla pods will be in the vanilla extract - they provide additional flavor. They also appear as dark flecks in light-colored food, don't shake the bottle if you don't want the flecks to appear.
- Vanilla extract will stay fresh for two years unopened and for one year after being opened.
- Small bottles with the vanilla beans left in them make great gifts for friends who bake. Include the basic instructions and a few extra vanilla pods in case they want to make an even stronger extract or wish to make some vanilla sugar on the side.
- To strain and bottle for storage: Use a very fine strainer, coffee filter, or paper towel to strain.

Steps:
- Place the vanilla beans in the bottle of vodka and seal. Store in a cool, dark area such as a kitchen cabinet for 3 weeks, shaking the bottle every week. Three weeks is the minimum, store it 6 months for the best flavor. After using, replace with more vodka. The same beans will continue to flavor the vanilla for up to a year.

Steps:
- Split the vanilla beans lengthwise, leaving them attached at one end. Place them in a 10- to 12-ounce bottle and cover with the liquor. Put on the top and shake vigorously. Store at room temperature for 4 weeks to let the flavor develop and mature, shaking the bottle once a week. The extract will keep at room temperature in a dark place (like your cabinet) for up to 6 months.

Steps:
- Roughly chop 4 scraped vanilla pods and pack into a smallish jar or bottle. Fill with alcohol, about 40% proof (I used 100ml white rum to four pods; vodka would also be good), and seal well. Shake daily. The extract is strong enough to use after just one week, but will benefit from a month of steeping. Store in a cool, dark place.

(You can do this to create more of a speckled look in your extract, although we have never noticed a significant difference in the outcome of flavor by splitting the beans).

- Using a sharp knife, slit the vanilla beans so the beans are exposed. No need to completely split the bean in half, just slit down the middle. If the length of the vanilla beans don’t fit into your bottle or jar, cut the vanilla beans into smaller pieces. Place beans into bottle or jar.
- Pour vodka on top. A funnel helps. Use a little extra vodka, if needed, so the beans are fully submerged. Shake a few times.
- Store vanilla at room temperature out of direct sunlight. Shake about once per week or once every couple weeks. Vanilla can be ready to use in as little as 8 weeks, but I recommend at least 6 months for optimal flavor. 12+ months is great!

- Take a nice looking small but high bottle (to make sure you don't need too much alcohol to submerge the vanilla pods).
- Cut the vanilla pods open and in half and place them in the bottle. It is not 100% necessary to slice them open, but I believe it will make extraction go faster since the powder gets to leave the vanilla pod more easily.
- Pour enough wodka or rum in the bottle to submerge the vanilla pods. Honestly, I haven't measured quantities. The best ratio will depend on your alcohol as well as vanilla bean quality.

- Using a sharp knife, split the vanilla beans lengthwise from end to end. Place the split vanilla beans in a swing-top bottle or a small canning jar.
- Pour the grain alcohol over the beans. Close the lid, and shake well. Place in a cool, dark spot to infuse for at least 8 weeks, but preferably up to 6-12 months. Shake daily (or as often as you remember).
- The vanilla is ready to use when it is dark in color and strong in flavor. As you use the vanilla, top off the bottle with more grain alcohol to continuously brew more vanilla. Discard the beans and add new ones when the vanilla starts to taste weak.

- Determine how much vanilla extract you would like to make. A standard 750 ml bottle of liquor contains slightly more than 3 cups of liquid. As a rule of thumb, 3–4 fresh vanilla beans will infuse nicely into 1 cup of alcohol.
- Use a sharp paring knife to split the beans. Place the vanilla beans into an impeccably clean glass bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Pour alcohol of choice into the container—as an alternative, you can also drop the beans into a bottle of vodka or bourbon—just make sure the beans are completely submerged.
