Homemade Vanilla Extract
I love to bake. So I also make my own vanilla extract. It is really easy. I bought some vanilla beans from ebay and made these.

a few vanilla beans + vodka/rum, then cut open the vanilla bean. I have used
1 1/2 beans for each bottle of liquor. Scrap the vanilla seeds, then immerse the seeds and
cut vanilla beans into the bottle.
Give the bottles a good shake every once in a while. Store in a dark and cool place for two months or longer. Top it up too.
On the right, is the vanilla extract that I have made 2 months ago.
Vanilla Sugar
I also make my own vanilla sugar by putting split vanilla beans and sugar into an airtight container. I use the sugar for baking, sprinkle on cereal and for my special vanilla flavoured coffee or tea.

Split up Vanilla beans and seeds buried in sugar
