Simple and quick vanilla extract!

Hello everyone! 

In this beautiful sunny and summer weekend I feel particularly in the mood for pastry! For those who do not know, I really like sweets, both to prepare and to eat!
Often I have proposed tasty gift ideas that consisted of cookies, mug cakes, chocolates, but today I show you how to prepare a perfect extract for sweets, in this case to give to those who, like me, has a passion for pastry! The extract of which I speak is the vanilla one for delicate dough or butter creams!

Here in the picture you will find all the necessary ingredients, but now let's see how to prepare the recipe!

  1. First, soak the vanilla pods in warm water for a whole day to increase the percentage of the extracted product.
  2. Then dry the pods and cut them in half by scraping the inner part with the seeds with the tip of the knife.
  3. Pour the vodka into a saucepan and heat (very low flame), paying a lot of attention.
  4. Pour the seeds into the jar / bottle. If you want you can also add the pods that you used previously, to further strengthen the extract!

  6. When you start to see a slight movement on the surface, turn off the heat and pour the vodka into the jar. ALCOOL MUST NOT BE BOILED! Immediately close tightly taking care not to burn yourself!
  7. After heating the water in a pot reaching a temperature of about 70 ° C (so you do not have to bring to a boil), place the jar / bottle inside the water to cool the extract slowly.
  8. Once cooled, apply the label with the ingredients on the jar / bottle, and possibly also a recipe to experiment with the extract (see here)

At this point you will have finished cooling and the extract can be kept in a cool and dry place! You can use it immediately but the taste improves if you let it rest for a few days!

The extract is ready to be packaged and given away! You can wrap a colored ribbon around the cap and put a nice wicker basket (I found a nice one here)

Well, I hope you enjoyed this gift idea! Let me know in the comments if you tried to do it!
