This recipe I got from my friend, Amy Z! You just stick a vanilla bean in vodka and wait a few months. I read that you should wait three months, but I mean, if you need it sooner, just use a little more since it's less concentrated. The great thing is that you can keep adding more vodka to the bottle when it gets low (I've been at it a year now, I'm sure I'll need to buy a new bean at some point). We use more vanilla now that it's so inexpensive to come by, which is great, because it can go in granola, coffee, baked goods, chocolate, and even juices (this I learned from Dominicans, to add just a tiny hint to passion-fruit juice or papaya smoothie).
Aren't these beautiful cloth napkins my mother-in-law got me for my birthday? My old ones are looking pretty sketchy, but these are too pretty for every day (at least for little kids, who like to smear them with dark juices and avocado and purple dragonfruit) and so I'm keeping the old ones in rotation for now.
