Making home made vanilla extract....

Start out a year ahead....place split vanilla beans into vodka/ dark bottle.....shake weekly....

when preparing the gift....I get labels with my name on it...use brown/amber 4 oz bottles...add a split vanilla bean or 2 into each bottle...use a ribbon for color as a gift....

Delightful gift....Later, after use, folks can also add a bean and /or vodka to the 4 oz gift bottle to refill the extract...
