Vanilla Extract

It's ridiculously easy to make your own vanilla extract.

Step 1: cut some vanilla beans in half cross wise and length wise, then pop them in a jar with vodka.

Step 2: Wait... A long time. It takes about 3-4 weeks to get really good, so we keep a couple of jars rotating through the spice cabinet.

yummm ..... you could do that with a number of spices ... I'm thinking anise :-)
