My sister in-law did this, and it was delicious. We decided we would make these prior to this coming Christmas and then give them as presents.
I believe she used the rum. It tasted very similar to the Kirkland brand pure vanilla available at Costco(my favorite vanilla).
I did this for Christmas gifts one year and it was a huge hit. Much more fragrant than regular extract. I found little bottles at the Container Store.
ooh i've never tried but i can't imagine it beats the fabulous mexican vanilla i brought back from my trip
I just soak a few beans in vodka for a month or so--it's easy & looks pretty, too. Love your blog! --Tanner
I just scrape some vanilla beans and plop them in a bottle of vodka to soak. It smells heavenly, and tastes divine - definitely worth trying! I blogged it here: http://frenchyfinds.blogspot.com/2007/11/vanilla-extract.html Enjoy!
i do this for presents all the time
it is a million +1 times better
than anything you can buy
but the best recommendation?
use the best vodka you can afford
makes a world of difference :)

Here is a link to a tutorial we just posted on this very subject! Both my Sister and Sister-In-Law make their own vanilla. It's so delicious! http://rootsandwingsco.blogspot.com/2009/03/vanilla-extract-teachers-gift.html
