  • 8 vanilla pods
  • 250 ml water

makes 500 ml

First, slit open and halve the vanilla pods. Then place them in a glass bottle (preferably with a swing top). Using a funnel, pour 250 ml of Primasprit into the bottle. Shake well. The vanilla pods should now be completely covered with the Primasprit. Let the pods steep in the alcohol for at least two weeks, shaking twice a day. After the steeping time, add 250 ml of hot water. If necessary, strain out the vanilla pods beforehand. Allow the mixture to cool completely. Vanilla extract is used to flavor cakes, desserts, etc. It should be stored in the refrigerator, then it will keep for a very long time. The advantage of Primasprit is that it is tasteless and odorless, meaning there are no unpleasant aromas.
