Vanilla Extract With Rum

Homemade Vanilla Extract

Servings 1 bottle

Ingredients
  

  • 3-5 vanilla bean pods
  • 6 oz rum

Instructions
 

  • Cut each vanilla pod down the middle to expose the beans. Do not cut the edges though.
  • Place 3-5 pods in the glass bottles. The more you put in, the stronger the vanilla will be. 
  • Fill glass bottles with rum to the top using a funnel. 
  • Close the bottle and let it steep for at least 30 days. Two months is more ideal. The longer you let it steep, the stronger it will be!
  • You can re-use the bottle and refill with rum as necessary!
