Ingredients
I make mine from Madagascar vanilla beans.
6 whole beans to 1 cup of vodka ( pioneer woman’s ratio)
1oz beans –( Jess’s ratio) to 8 oz 70 to 100 proof liquor let set 1 year minimum.
If your jar is larger than 8 ounces, use more beans and alcohol so that the alcohol will cover the beans. Just remember this ratio:
6 vanilla beans per 8 ounces of alcohol.
So if your jar is 12 ounces, use 9 vanilla beans.
If it’s 16 ounces, use 12 beans.
Let set at least one year, even better let it set 2 years for a richer taste.
2 oz vanilla / 8 oz liquor = single fold – Regular Vanilla
4 oz vanilla / 8 oz liquor = double fold – Stronger Vanilla
6 oz vanilla / 8 oz liquor = triple fold – Even Stronger Vanilla
Week 1 shake every day
Week 2-3 shake twice a week
Week 4 start to shake 1 time a week
After a few months at least 1 time a month.
