I make my own vanilla extract, it is very easy and you will make some of the finest vanilla you ever had. . . .
-Take a quantity of unflavored vodka (I use a 1/2 pint) you can do more or less
-3 vanilla beans split down the middle (again more or less as needed)
Put the vanilla beans in the 1/2 pint, put it in your pantry or some dark place and let it sit for about 2 months (shake it occasionally) until it turns a nice dark color and smells strongly of vanilla when you open and sniff.
You can add more vodka as you use it and you will virtually never be without vanilla again.
I keep an old regular vanilla bottle and fill it from the vanilla booze bottle for ease of handling.
