One of Stacey Harris aka The Diabetic Pastry Chef‘s professional baking tips is to make your own homemade vanilla extract. It’s easy! You only need two ingredients for homemade vanilla extract: vanilla beans and vodka. Let the vanilla beans infuse the vodka for as little as 8 weeks, but for optimal flavor, wait at least 6-12 months before using.
