Instructions

1
Slice the vanilla beans in half lengthwise.
2
Place the sliced vanilla beans into a clean, airtight glass bottle.
3
Pour your choice of alcohol (vodka, bourbon, or brandy) into the bottle, ensuring the vanilla beans are fully submerged.
4
Seal the bottle tightly.
5
Label the bottle with the date.
6
Store the bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight.
7
Let the mixture steep, shaking it periodically. It will be ready to use in about 2 months, but for the best flavor, allow it to steep for 6-8 months.
