Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup vegetable glycerin
  • 1/4 cup distilled water
  • 6 vanilla beans
  • Glass jar

Instructions

  • Mix the distilled water and the vegetable glycerin together.
  • Pour into your jar and set aside.
  • Cut open your vanilla beans the long way. Then cut them in half.
  • Put the vanilla beans inside the jar with the liquid, close the lid, and swirl around, so the beans get completely covered.
  • Let sit in your cupboard for 6 months; the longer, the better. Swirl around every couple of days.
