1. Using a sharp kitchen knife, cut a lengthwise slit down the middle of each vanilla bean.

2. Cut vanilla beans into 1/2 - 3/4-inch pieces.

3. Pour vodka into your container.

4. Add vanilla beans to container and shake.

5. Wait and shake. It will take 30-days for the vanilla extract to mature. Once each day, vigorously shake the container for 30-seconds.

6. Once the 30-day cycle has finished, strain the liquid through a colander or coffee filter and place in decorative bottle. FOR even stronger, more potent vanilla extract, allow the liquid 6 months to one year of sitting time.
