You don't have to use expensive vodka for this recipe - own brand is fine
Open the bottle and remove around 100ml - you may have another use for this!
Split the vanilla pods lengthways and drop into the bottle
Seal the bottle again and give it a shake
Label the bottle - not for use!!!
Store it somewhere where you can see it so you remember to keep giving it a shake
You need to keep it for 6 months infusing the vanilla - if you make it in July it will be ready for Christmas
You can then decant it into pretty little bottles, label it nicely and give as splendid, inexpensive Christmas presents
You can start the whole process off again by adding fresh vodka to the vanilla pods in the bottle
