I made homemade vanilla, orange, lemon and peppermint extracts for Christmas gifts 2 years ago, they were a HIT!!! I bought my amber bottles on Amazon and I made my labels on my Cricut machine! Simple and fun gift idea!!! Even my son and his girlfriend loved helping - we had an assembly line going!!! LOVE!!!!

I would love recipes as well please

some tips from someone’s been making vanilla extract for a few years: - For a single-fold extract, use 1 oz of beans per 1 cup of alcohol (i.e. 8 oz). For double-fold, use 2 oz of beans per 1 cup - Use 80-100 proof alcohol - I’d recommend using a neutral spirit (like vodka, or a grain alcohol diluted with distilled water) before diving off into using rum, whiskey, etc. this is because using a neutral spirit will yield the most pure “vanilla” flavor. If you use rum, it’ll taste like… well, rum + vanilla - If not using the heat method, wait a few months (at least 6) if you really want your extract to taste truly vanilla-y

Hey! Recently I tried to make homemade vanilla extract. I bought some vanilla beans and vodka, I basically followed the steps, cut them in half and submerged them in vodka in an airproof container. But in a few hours, the beans started to release a white mould (I think it's mould but I'm not sure). I bought MORE beans and MORE vodka (I thought the beans were rotten or something) but It happened again. What did I do wrong? Thank you in advance!

@@AlexisZenios honestly everclear (grain alcohol) diluted with distilled water is my best recommendation. that's just bc even though vodka is supposedly to be "flavorless" it still tends to carry a certain flavor depending on the brand. you don't need to use any top shelf vodka though (like grey goose, which is what he uses in the video). i've used costco vodka and it still tasted totally fine.

Very nice tips for homemade vanilla extract John! Have a nice day and good weekend! 👍👏🍴

I made several pints for gifts two Christmas' s ago..used spiced rum and let it sit for at least 18 months. After the 18 months, I added 3 more vanilla beans to each of my pints. Then I let them sit ,shaking them about once a week for the next couple of months. IT IS AMAZING! PLAN AHEAD, Best vanilla ever!

Time to start making my own Vanilla thanks for the tip John as a Baker vanilla is one of the most used flavours and finishes so quick lol. I'm always buying so much. Never thought to make my own.

Ive been making caramel that is beyond delicious and effortless, thanks to your instructions, and this sounds like my next preppy project, diy with swift gratification!!

I so want to make my own Vanilla. Thanks for helping me build up my courage to try.

I like to put the spent bean pods from vanilla that I've used in baking in a bottle. I think the necessary beans per cup increases pretty drastically because there's less seeds per bean, but I think it's a great way to recycle.

@rickterrance4981

Or make vanilla sugar and yes you'd need way more beans per cup if making extract.

Thanks, John for another great video! I liked your information on the different sources & differences between the 3 types of vanilla. I’ve got several bottles of homemade vanilla. A few other sources (sorry, John, you are my favorite!) say you don’t have to replenish the vanilla beans - just keep adding vodka. When my bottle is about 2/3 empty, I top it off with more vodka and put the date on it with painters tape. It’s ready for use in about 6 months, but John’s right - the older the better! I have one bottle with bourbon vanilla for certain recipes that call for it.

So cool! My mother in law gave me a bottle of vanilla she had just started brewing - can’t wait to try it in about 9 more months!

John struggling with the lid is so relatable. 😂 Thank you for this video John. This is very helpful information.

This tutorial was so interesting and informative. You've inspired me to actually made vanilla. I think I'll wait the year before trying it. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜

I made my vanilla just about a year ago and it it wonderful. I like yo tip it a couple times before using to get some of those pretty seeds. It’s spectacular. And the cost in comparison to buying in a store is amazing!

My parents and grandparents used homemade vanilla extract all the time. Very good thing.

Thank you John! 😊

Thank you for this video and show us the difference. 💗

So funny that you post this tutorial on the day that I run out of vanilla while baking some cookies. Thank you, definitely going to try this out! 🙏🏻

For those that really bake a lot, especially come Christmas making your own vanilla extract is so worth the time invested, much better value for the money than those premium vanilla extracts at the store. Some bakers or even home bakers have vanilla extract that's like over 30 years old and still going strong.

Thanks, I think I want to use the slow process and have it for 2024 Christmas gifts. Btw your kitchen is just gorgeous 🤩

I used Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum for my vanilla. It's been brewing for 2 years. I love it.

I love you so much! Thanks for this video, I cant wait to try this 😍

The longer it sits The better the product. I have a friend that makes it and she leaves it sit for over a year. She makes a killing on her jars. the taste is impeccable and sooo good.

I made my own vanilla with Madagascar beans one year before my daughter's wedding. We let it steep for a year and I shared the Wedding Vanilla with my mom and my newly wed daughter at Christmas. That was some wonderful vanilla!

I will do this for sure, I use liquid vanilla a lot, thanks for the video 🙏

I use a quart jar in the IP for my vanilla. Works great and gives me enough to last about six months. I have found that waiting a week after infusing it works best. The flavor develops a bit more, and the alcohol taste disappears completely. I have been using vodka, but we just brought home a nice bottle of rum from the Philippines that I am thinking of using the next time. I have a feeling that dropping a spoonful of that into my smoothies will give a whole new dimension to them. 😁😁

I started making my own vanilla almost two years ago. it is soon much better than anything you can buy. The slow infusing method for 1 year is the best way to go. My favorite alcohol to use is American Honey Burbon. I have tried a couple different vodkas and burbons and I just love the flavor I get from American Honey. I actually have a bunch of those bottles going now and I can't wait until December when my next batch will be ready just in time for Christmas baking.

I have batches of vodka, bourbon, and rum vanilla extract that are now 1.5 years old. I really love the bourbon vanilla extract it adds a beautiful complexity to anything chocolatey. When any of my bottles get low, I add more liquor and another vanilla pod or 4 then it gets moved to the back to age.😀

Just made the vanilla extract like you made it’s about 4 days old thank you 😊

You are my favorite baker! ❤️

I bought 2 liters of vanilla extract in Papantla, Mexico. Once you try the real thing, you can’t go back. La This is very helpful as I don’t know when I will be back in the Veracruz state. I should start making it now to ensure that I will always have a wonderful vanilla extract. Thank you for this video. Saludos desde Mexico !

Yet another fantastic, educational (and funny!) video from the BEST online-baker! (Apart from Mary Berry, of course!) I estimate 90 per cent of your recipes include vanilla and I was spending more money on shop-bought vanilla than I was spending on my clothes! So after seeing this video (and buying a Pressure Cooker today!) I'm going to actually SAVE money, improve my baking, have fun AND experiment later with a new Pressure Cooker. How about you showing us how to use a Pressure Cooker to bake/cook a few recipes? Thanks again, John.

Oh I made my own vanilla about a year and a half ago. Its wonderful.

john thank you for the video i will definitely😊 make my own vanilla

I have a large bottle going since May. It's dark and as rich as some commercial varieties. I also have two new bottles brewing with some more vanilla beans I wanted to try. I have Madagascar beans of different qualities. All splendid.
