Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium flame, heat vodka. Place split vanilla beans in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and pour heated vodka over to cover the beans. Allow to cool completely before putting the lid on.

  2. Screw on lid and store in a dark cool place for 8 weeks (give jar a shake every week). Mixture will get darker and darker over time.

Why this Homemade Vanilla Extract works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Homemade Vanilla Extract that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
