Vanilla extract for baking

Ingredients:

• 12 vanilla pods
• 1 bottle of vodka

Preparation:

1. Combine vanilla beans and vodka in a jar tall enough to hold the beans without bending.
2. Let it sit at room temperature for at least a month, until the vodka has turned into vanilla extract and the pods are soft enough to cut off the ends and squeeze out the seeds. Add more vanilla or pods if needed. Vanilla extract has an unlimited shelf life. Store at room temperature..
