Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water and place a sous vide circulator into the water. Set temperature to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.

Step 2

Place vodka and vanilla beans into a sterilized pint-size Mason jar and secure with lid until finger-tight. Lower into the water, ensuring jar is completely covered, and process for at least 8 hours.
