Homemade Vanilla Extract
The OG baking buddy, the flavor whisperer, the secret weapon in every dessert arsenal. Introducing my new obsession: DIY Vanilla Extract! It’s easier than you think (just 2 ingredients!):
1. Grab some glass bottles with air tight lids.
2. Fill them with 8 oz of vodka (responsible gifting, people!).
3. Slice open 5 vanilla beans like little flavor pods and place them in the bottles along with the vodka.
4. Voila! The perfect gift for bakers, foodies, or anyone who craves a taste of homemade warmth.
5. Don’t forget to tell your friends to pop them in a cool, dark place for 2-3 months (think hibernation for deliciousness!).
Bonus points: Add ribbon or yarn along with a cute tag with the “steep” date for an extra personalized touch.
