🥃Liqueur de Vanille Fait Maison (Vanilla Bean Liqueur)
My previous batch that I made 16 years ago is sadly almost gone, so I knew it was definitely time to make more. I hope you'll adore this luxurious homemade French vanilla liqueur as much as we do!
Vanilla is one of the most elegant and beloved botanical flavors in all the world. And I've captured it here in a bottle for you to savor and enjoy with friends and family. This "fait maison" (homemade) French vanilla bean liqueur is luscious, deeply-aromatic, and a pure joy to sip. It's simple to make, with only vanilla beans, sugar, and vodka, and develops its enchanting flavors all on its own during a long steep of at least 3 months. It's beyond worth the wait.

Sounds impressive.
I had some friends in Chaumont, near Dijon who made Mirabelle liquer, it's one of those recipes handed down through the generations. It was clear, smelt slightly of the Mirabelle plum and was something ridiculous like 85% proof, truly firewater. The French government introduced an amnesty for people making their own spirits to declare them and pay duty. I think this was in the '80s. A small percentage was declared at a lower alcohol content but the serious stuff hidden away.
16 years!?! Wow.
