OUR GIFT TO YOU
HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE VANILLA EXTRACT
Needed Supplies
In order to create homemade vanilla extract, you will need:
- whole vanilla beans
- high proof alcohol
- clean jars or bottles
- a sharp knife
- a cutting board
- cute labels
You can make this with kids!
With the very sharp knife, slice down the center of the vanilla bean, just to expose the seeds.
Place the split vanilla bean directly into the container, then pour the high proof alcohol (I'm using everclear) over the beans, filling to the top of the container.
If you are worried about your handwriting and prefer to create printable labels, there are free versions of many design programs out there!
I enjoy using Canva and Avery, as they both have templates to make it easy. Another idea would be to use stamps for a cool look!
