How to Make Homemade Vanilla Extract Recipe. I know you’re thinking why would I want to make my own vanilla extract, when there are plenty of pre-made options available? Well, the thing is that those bottles of vanilla extract have a lot going on. They have artificial flavors and colors as well as preservatives. When you make your own homemade vanilla extract at home it’s just pure vanilla beans soaked in fine vodka. Easy peasy!

There’s also no need to worry about what type of alcohol was used or how much sugar was added – so now you have complete control over what goes into your vanilla extract!

Only 2 ingredients and a 5 minute prep time.

This is a super easy recipe!

It’s a great homemade gift idea for the Holidays, or anytime!
