Recipe: How to make vanilla extract

Quite often in the recipes I found "add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract." Since the composition of store vanilla extract does not inspire confidence in me, I usually just add vanilla. But at the same time I understand that the dish loses its flavor.

It turns out that it is very easy to cook at home and it does not need any special and expensive ingredients or special culinary skills.

So, for the preparation of vanilla extract at home, you will need glass bottles with caps of 250 mL, 5-6 vanilla pods and vodka or alcohol.

• Sterilize the bottles with boiling water.
• To cut off the tips of vanilla pods, cut them in half and clean out the tip of a knife with vanilla seeds.
• Pours out the seeds in the bottle and add back half of sweet peppers.
• Pour vodka or alcohol, close the lid and shake well.
• Leave to infuse for 6-8 weeks, occasionally shaking the bottle and pulling out.

Convenient glass bottles with good plugs can be purchased in stores or Ikea Buttlers.
