How to Prepare Homemade Vanilla Extract [Vegan]

Split the vanilla bean half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Scrape out the seeds with the knife and put it into a nice bottle. Add the bean inside the bottle.
Cover the vanilla bean with vodka.
Store in a cool dark place and in the first few weeks shake the bottle a few times. It will be ready in a month or so (it should get that dark color).

Notes

It's like wine, the flavors get stronger over time however, you should NOT use this after about 6 months. Store in an airtight bottle in a cool, dark place, and shake before using.
