Making vanilla extract is super easy! You just need fresh vanilla beans and alcohol. 6 weeks is the minimum time to let it sit, 6-12 months will let it develop a deeper flavor. Vodka is the most popular choice as it is odorless and tasteless to let the vanilla shine. Rum is great for an extra sweet extract for desserts. Bourbon will make a slightly smoky extract great for savory dishes #vanilla #vanillabeans #vanillaextract #baking #bakingtiktok #tiktokshop #cooking #cookingtiktok #recipes #makeyourown #giftideas
