So to experiment with the almond milk flavor a little bit more I bought a few different kinds of vanilla extract.  It actually makes a huge difference.  So… (yes I’m weird) I looked up recipes for vanilla extract online.  I’m currently 5 weeks into the 8 week process..  I am making madagascar vanilla, tahitian vanilla and Ugandan vanilla extracts.  I’ll let you know in a few weeks if they are good:)

Stupid easy way to make vanilla extract:

-Choose your vanilla bean type.  I bought mine from the online retailer Beanilla.  They have a huge selection of beans and the prices compared with the grocery stores in my area are amazing.

-split 5 beans lengthwise

Put in a glass container and cover with 8 ounces of 35%+ vodka.  Then just shake once a week for 8 weeks and your done… 

I love extracts… so I am want to try making my own almond, peppermint and orange too…why not!
