Equipment

  • 1 infusion bottle or jar
  • 1 pairing knife
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 460 g vodka 2 cups
  • 2 whole vanilla beans

Instructions
 

  • Slice the vanilla open. Using a sharp knife, cut a slit in two vanilla beans to open them up. This helps the vodka really soak into the entire bean.
  • Open the beans. Gently pull the bean apart to expose the inside of the vanilla pods.
  • Combine. Place both vanilla beans in a bottle or jar, then pour 460 g vodka (2 cups) over top of the beans.
  • Seal & shake. Seal the bottle and give it a good shake to help distribute the vanilla throughout the vodka.
  • Infuse. Stash your vanilla vodka in a dark place out of direct sunlight to infuse. Don’t forget to label it with the date so you remember!
  • Taste test. Taste your vodka after a week or two, and when it’s got the flavor you like, you can start using it!
  • Replenish. You can leave the vanilla in the bottle or jar and continue to add more vodka as you use it.
  • Store. Store your infused vodka at room temperature.
