Be sure to mark the bottle "vanilla-infused" to save confusion.McCormick Distilling Co., Inc. Clean the bottle and then filter your now vanilla-flavoured vodka back into the bottle. Pour the contents of the bottle into a clean container. The vodka's high alcohol content will leach out flavours from the vanilla which will over the days to integrate with the vodka which will then preserve those flavoursĪfter a week your previously clear vodka will have have turned a shade of amber and have developed a pungent scent of vanilla.
Shaking helps increase the rate of extraction, as will leaving in a warm place. (Place the bottle somewhere you walk past regularly and shake each time you pass). Place the split pods in a freshly opened bottle of vodka (we recommend Ketel One Vodka) and leave to infuse for 3 to 6 days, shaking occasionally. To make your own vanilla infused vodka simple take one quality vanilla pod (usually 6in/15cm long) and split lengthways with a sharp knife on a cutting board. Even these relatively short pods contain thousands of tiny black flavoursome seeds and one second-grade pod has more than enough favour for one bottle of vodka. Pods between 10 and 15cm long are graded second-quality and those less than 10cm long are categorised third-quality. The pods can be as long as 21cm (8¼ inches) long and those over 16cm (6¼ inches) are usually reserved for sale to chefs. The pods are then graded according to size and appearance. The cured vanilla fruits have an average 2.5% vanillin content. They are then slowly dried prevent rotting and secure the aroma, then conditioned for 5-6 months to further develop flavour. The pods are then killed by heating or freezing to stop vegetative growth and initiate enzymatic reactions which create the distinctive aroma. Each pod develops from a pollinated flower and it takes around six months for the pods to reach maturity, at which point (when the dark green pods turn yellow and start to split on the end) they are harvested by hand. Vanilla pods are the fruit of a tropical vine which belongs to the orchid family. After all, vanilla is one of the most straight-forward and reliably good home vodka-infusions. As an alternative, consider making your own vanilla-infused vodka. Many also have added sugar so can be a tad sweet.
Some commercially produced vanilla-flavoured vodkas have more of a cream-of-soda rather than genuine vanilla flavour.
