Making vanilla extract at home is much cheaper than buying it, but it takes months to make. By using the gentle heat of a sous vide circulator, you can extract more flavor quicker and have it ready in hours. Use Grade B Madagascar vanilla beans for the best flavor. You can also use bourbon instead of vodka.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups vodka
  • 3 vanillas bean , split lengthwise and halved

Instructions

  1. 1

    Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide circulator into the water. Set temperature to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.

  2. 2

    Place vodka and vanilla beans into a sterilized pint-size Mason jar and secure with lid until finger-tight. Lower into the water, ensuring jar is completely covered, and process for at least 8 hours.

  3. 3

    Remove jar. Cool and store in a dark cupboard, gently shaking occasionally. The extract is ready to use immediately, but the longer it sits, the better it will become.
