Homemade Vanilla Extract

There is a satisfaction in a hard day's work!
Yes, there is, but today I'm tired. I've spent my all day inside my favorite metalic tube in the skyes of Europe.
Then, shower time, homework (with my son Tomas) and then dinner...
And now, he's slepping and I need "me time". Today it means something sweet and adorable, like ... Vanilla extract!
It's super easy. You are going to love this.
Just take a bottle (any kind will do), fill it with vodka and add a vanilla bean.
Close the bottle and put it away in a dark spot in your pantdy. You should shake it a couple days a week.
Now you just have to wait, more or less 3/4 months for your vanilla extract to be ready to be used in your recipes or as a gift to family or friends.

Since you're at it, just put another vanilla bean in a jar full of sugar. Close the jar and put it away.
In a month or so you'll have a fantastic vanilla scented sugar to also give away or use in your special recipes.
I feel better already!
Good night! Sweet dreams!
