This year I thought that bottles of homemade vanilla might make good Christmas gifts. Since it takes a year, I figured I ought to get them started.
I bought a pound of vanilla beans from Vanillakings.com for $148
16 bottles off of Amazon for $23.79.
And stocked up on mostly Vodka and a little bit of White Rum and Bourban. I wanted to give them all a whirl. $71.00
1 oz of beans to 8 oz of vodka. I didn't have a small funnel so I improvised with a cake decorating tip and frosting bag
I go through a lot of vanilla over the course of a year and made enough to gift, as well as keep some for our pantry.
It came to $15.17 per bottle.
I stashed them in a buffet where they will be allowed to hibernate until December.
