Home Made Vanilla Extract….

On my recent trip to Coorg, I got hold of some gorgeous Vanilla Beans and making this extract has been in the list since then.

Home made vanilla extract makes for an excellent Christmas gift and with just two ingredients, you have a fantastic homemade extract ready in no time. For making this extract you will need Vanilla Beans and Alcohol. I am using Vodka for alcohol as it is neutral in flavour but you can also use Bourbon and Rum or Brandy.

Vanilla extract is expensive when purchased and not available that easily. Also, often it is of low quality. The Vanilla Extract that is prepared can be used in making healthy Vanilla Coconut Granola bars, lovely Mango Vanilla Smoothie, in Gingerbread Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting and Honey Vanilla Madeleines. They add a wonderful flavor to any dessert or dish.
