Kittencal's Homemade Vanilla Recipe #93063
This is the recipe I use for homemade vanilla it's easy to make and somewhat cheaper than the store bought --- plan ahead this needs to steep at least 2 months or even longer for a more stronger taste --- use as you would any commercial vanilla, the more vanilla beans that you use and the longer you let it sit for, the stronger the vanilla will be.

2 cups
- 4-8 whole vanilla beans (cut in half)
- 2 cups vodka
- Cut the vanilla beans in half lengthwise.
- Divide among two narrow bottles that hold about 1 cup each.
- Vanilla beans may be cut crosswise, if necessary to fit.
- Add the vodka to cover (1 cup in each bottle).
- Let sit for at least 2 months before using.
- ***NOTE*** You can use as many vanilla beans as you wish, they are quite expensive, so I use up to 6 and just let sit for a longer period of time for a more stronger vanilla taste, but you may certainly add in 20 if you wish, but the cost is expensive.
- Remember, the longer the sitting time, the stronger the vanilla!
