Recipe - Pure Vanilla Or Vanilla Sugar (Make Your Own)

1 Bottle Vodka or Rum; (1 Qt.

Note: Vanilla beans can be found at most health food stores. To make
vanilla sugar: In a covered glass jar, mix 2 cups sugar with 1 vanilla bean
cut lengthwise and then in 2inch lengths; set aside for at least 1 mouth.
The flavor will intensify upon standing. Stir in more sugar as used. Use in
desserts, beverages or over cereal. To make vanilla extract: Place 1 to 2
vanilla beans in a 1 liter bottle of vodka or rum; set aside for at least a
month. The flavor will intensify upon standing. Add more liquor as needed.
