Secret Dining Hub

Secret dining is when someone uses their house or some other space to run a cross between an amateur restaurant and an intimate dinner party. We help you to hear about local secret dining events and provide a place where anyone planning to host an event can advertise and sign up guests: www.secretdininghub.com

How To Make Your Own Vanilla Extract Making your own vanilla extract is actually very simple. All you need is the following: Vanilla beans vodka glass container Of course it can be made and stored in a polyethylene plastic container, but the results are much better in a glass container that can be sealed. Directions: 1. Take the number of vanilla beans you require (1 per 1/3 - 1/2 cup vodka) and slice them lengthwise so the side is split or open. Bisect the beans as needed for fitting into your particular container. 2. Place your beans into the container and fill with the appropriate amount of vodka. Again that's approx. 1 bean per 1/3 to 1/2 cup of vodka. 3. Now seal and place in a cool location out of sunlight for approx. 6-8 weeks. Of course the longer you let is sit, the stronger and more intense the flavor will become.
