Who doesn’t love to receive a homemade gift? I know I do and I cherish it much more than anything store bought. This easy Homemade Vanilla is the perfect gift to give this holiday season!
If you’ve been around for a while you might remember me making this vanilla recipe once before 5 years ago! But it was just so good (and easy!) so I decided to make a fresh batch to give away as gifts this year.
I also included a new updated label for you to print out for free!
DISCLAIMER*
Homemade Vanilla needs to sit for 1-2 months before use to make sure it absorbs into the vodka. If you wait until now to make it like I did because #life, just be sure to tell who you’re giving it to that it might not be quite ready for use!
SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR HOMEMADE VANILLA
- Vodka (any vodka is fine but I wouldn’t use the super cheap stuff!)
- Vanilla Beans (5-6 per bottle)
- Funnel
- Bottles
That’s it! Two simple ingredients and you’ve got yourself some amazing homemade vanilla extract.
STEP 1
Cut your beans in half then slice each one lengthwise. Add them to your bottle.
STEP 2
Fill your bottle with vodka.
STEP 3
Attach your label and add some pretty ribbon and a fresh sprig of cedar or any other fun garnish!
I printed out my labels on card stock and glued them onto each bottle using super glue.
Easy peasy! A beautiful and delicious homemade gift that anyone would love to receive!
