Simple Vanilla Vodka Food

HOMEMADE VANILLA

Steps:

• Submerge vanilla beans in vodka and store in a cool, dark place for several weeks, shaking occasionally.

VANILLA EXTRACT

Steps:

• Combine the vanilla beans and vodka in a jar tall enough to hold the vanilla beans. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for at least a month until the vodka becomes vanilla extract and the beans are soft enough to cut the end and squeeze the seeds out. Add more vanilla or beans, as needed. The extract can sit at room temperature indefinitely.

VANILLA VODKA AND COLA

Steps:

• Fill glass with ice. Add Smirnoff Vanilla Flavored Vodka and cola. Stir well and garnish with lime.;

VANILLA VODKA

Steps:

• Split the vanilla pods lengthwise down the center to expose the seeds, keeping the ends of the beans intact.
• Place the beans with the vodka in a large jar with an airtight seal.
• Store in a dark, dry place for at least 4 weeks, shaking the jar several times each week.
• When ready, transfer the extract and the beans to a bottle.
• As you use the extract, top off with more vodka to replenish your supply. The beans will continue to impart flavor for many months.
