1
Prepare the Vanilla Beans
Split each vanilla bean lengthwise using a sharp knife to expose the tiny seeds inside. This will enhance the flavor extraction.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a clean glass jar, place the split vanilla beans and then pour in the vodka or rum. If you're using glycerin for a low sugar option, add it to the jar as well.
3
Infusion Process
Seal the jar tightly and give it a good shake to mix the contents. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 4-6 weeks, shaking it gently every week to help the infusion process.
4
Strain and Store
After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Seal the bottle and label it. Your low sugar vanilla extract is now ready to use!
