Pour the bourbon evenly into twelve 2-2.5 ounce bottles.&nbsp;

Cut a long slit down the length of each vanilla bean, so they open exposing the seeds. Then cut each bean in half, to create twelve short pieces.

Place one vanilla bean segment in each bottle. Close the bottles tightly. Then shake vigorously.

Allow the bottle to sit at least 4 weeks, before gifting or using them. Every few days give them a vigorous shake.

Gather your jar(s), alcohol and vanilla beans. You will need 4-5 beans for every 8 ounces (1 cup) of alcohol. Use a sharp knife to gently cut slits in the vanilla beans, lengthwise.

Place the vanilla beans in jar (you may need to cut them in half to fit, so they will be submerged in alcohol). Fill with vodka. Secure lid tightly on the bottle and shake gently.

Add labels to jars, or write the date on the bottle. Allow to steep/brew for at least 2 months before using, (although 6-12 months is preferred for best flavor), shaking the bottles occasionally.  

When running low, add more vodka to the bottle and brew again, reusing the same beans for up to one more batch.
