Vanilla extract
Exceedingly easy to make. Wildly Delicious. Takes SO much patience. The oil on top- thats from the vanilla beans!
After the beans are extracted, here is my process to maximize the use of your beans. 1) squeeze the bean seeds into your baked goods and confections! 2) use the empty pod to make vanilla sugar, vanilla salt or vanilla bean paste recipes are here as well. 3) If making vanilla salt or sugar, grind the dry bean into vanilla bean powder.
