I've recently come across someone selling some fresh Madagascan Vanilla Beans at a great price and without hesitation ordered some for myself. Got me 10 vanilla beans at the price of RM40. I was so excited to receive the beans and they of were they plump as plump can be and smells absolutely delicious! I wish there are photos that I can show you but it was not during the time that I had this blog.
I started researching and googling on what I can do with these beans and I came across some recipes for Vanilla extract. So I thought I'd give that a try.
Homemade Vanilla Extract - No alcohol
4 vanilla beans - cut lenghtwise
food grade vegetable glycerin
1 glass bottle - 150ml
Directions:
Cut the vanilla beans lenghtwise and if you need to cut it in half to fit into the bottle.
Pour glycerin into the bottle until full
Keep in dark place for 6 weeks shaking once a week.
Voila. Done!
These vanilla tastes great! and they make all my cakes taste all the more special. and all without any preservatives.
