Homemade Vanilla After Seven Weeks

If you recall, back in October I wrote about making Homemade Vanilla. I had full intentions on posting weekly updates. As you have surmised, I didn’t get that done.

Remember Day One?

Here is after a week. It’s much darker than on Day One…

…and after seven weeks you can see it has gotten darker…

If you look closely, after I gently shook the bottle, you can see the floating vanilla caviar.

I bought some labels at Office Depot and created a front and back label…

Then I finished the bottle off with some ribbon I found at Michaels.

It was a fun project. Not a ton of work and turned out really well.

Did you try making your own vanilla? How did yours turn out?
