US Units Metric Units

• 3 Vanilla Beans
• 20.28 oz Brandy (or Vodka)
• 1 Cup Sugar

Blending Instructions:

• Split vanilla beans first lengthwise, then in 1/2 inch pieces
• Put in a bottle, add brandy and sugar, and shake *very* well until the sugar has dissolved
• Now leave the mixture about 1 month so that the vanilla flavour has time to develop properly
• After one month you can strain the liqueur so that the vanilla particles are removed
• The vanilla liqueur keeps a very long time
• To serve you have two possibilities: either use the liqueur as it comes out of the bottle, or mix with half'n'half or whipping cream
• The latter doesn't keep too long though, it should be used in the next days (or right now)
• You can also pour a small amount of the liqueur in a glass of milk as a kind of alcoholic vanilla milk
