This is a response to Nel. To make your own vanilla extract slit open (length wise)3 vanilla beans, put in a bottle and add a good vodka.Cap and let it steep for 4 to 6 months and you have vanilla extract. My bottle is a 16 oz or maybe 1/2 liter. Replenish the vodka as needed. Depending on how much you use it, the beans can last up to 7 years.
