homemade vanilla extract

homemade vanilla extract is an easy, unique foodie gift that EVERYONE will love!

Homemade vanilla extract is a DIY that will knock off a significant portion of your holiday gift list RIGHT NOW,  with about 10 minutes of effort and just two ingredients!

Homemade vanilla extract is not only THAT easy – and THAT fast – but it is also far superior to the bottled stuff at the grocery store.

And you don’t need any special equipment (a knife. you literally need a knife.) or fancy baking skills.

What you DO need is time.

I started the above bottle last month – and look at it now:

So can you imagine how amazing it will be come December?

And all you have to do is give it a shake every now and then – time will take care of the rest.

Hop on over to the Slofoodgroup blog for the recipe, and lots of tips. If you want to use the larger 8-ounce bottle shown here, simply double the ingredients.
