Here are some photos of my homemade vanilla bean extract---day 1 and day 5.
Vodka and Vanilla Beans immediately mixed on the left and mixed together for about 30 minutes on the right. I've found that in the bottles that I scraped the vanilla seed out of the bean, the extract seems to be getting darker sooner. Day 1.
It appears cloudy and most likely will for a long time until it gets fully infused after about 6 months. Day 1 photos.
Two large bottles of vodka later...Day 1.
I'm sure to shake all the bottles daily to continue encouraging infusion. I'm so excited to taste it after a few months! It's a labor of love.
Day 5. It's really starting to look good! I love shaking it up and seeing all the floating beans mix with the vodka. I'm just so excited to try it.
