Ingredients
Scale
- 20 vanilla beans, Grade B Bourbon
- 40 oz plain vodka, 80 proof
Instructions
- Wash and sanitize bottles and lids: Wash with mild soapy water, rinse, then carefully swirl with boiling hot water to sanitize them.
- Cut beans in half then split beans, cutting them about halfway down the stem. If the beans are too dry to split, cut them into small 1-inch pieces. Place a total of 2 whole beans in each jar (or 4 split halves).
- Use a funnel to pour vodka to the top of the jar. Cover tightly with lid and let them brew for 2 months, shaking occasionally.
Notes
Store in a cool, dark place; no need to freeze. The flavor will deepen over time.
