Making vanilla essence at home is super easy and requires only two ingredients: vodka and vanilla bean pods. Here is how to make it.
1 small bottle of vodka- a cheap one will do.
4 vanilla pods
Take the vanilla pods out of their packaging. Slit each one in the middle but don't cut all the way through.
Place the slit pods in the vodka bottle. Screw the cap on tightly and leave in a dark place for a month to infuse. Shake everyday to ensure the flavour spreads.
Once the liquid has turned a dark brown colour, the vanilla essence is ready to use as you would normally.
