Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise.

Insert it into the bottle and pour in the vodka.

Seal and store in a cool place.

Shake at least twice a week.

The maturation time (coloring) varies from 6 to 8 weeks.

Once ready, you can use it to flavor your desserts.

I thought I'd give it as a Christmas gift.
