When I could not find vanilla extract in regular stores and import stores, I knew I was going to have to make it myself. Luckily, it is super easy.
My sweet husband ordered some vanilla beans online for me. As soon as they were delivered, I cut open one and a half of them and added them to my old bottle of vanilla, which holds 120cc (4 oz) of liquid. The required liquid is vodka - 80 proof is best. Let it sit in the back of the cabinet for at least 2 months.
This, once again, is another example of how a little bit of ingenuity and a tiny bit of work can take my needs and change them into haves.
