Hi there ... here is a link to the thread you're talking about. Good luck!

I found this one on the internet. Haven't tried it yet, but it sounds fun to make:
Directions:
Split five vanilla beans lengthwise down the center to expose the seeds, keeping the ends of the beans intact. Place beans in a pint of high-quality vodka, rum or brandy. Store in a cool, dark place such as a cupboard or closet for at least four weeks. Shake the bottle several times a week.
To use, either remove four of the beans for another purpose (you can add them with a fresh bean to make more extract, or you can use them for cooking), or let all the beans remain in the bottle, and periodically, add more alcohol to keep the bottle replenished. Eventually the beans will lose their strength but they should contain flavor for many months.
Here is Martha Stewart's recipe for homemade vanilla extract:
Homemade Vanilla Extract
Makes 1 cup
This extract is best if steeped for two months or longer.
2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise
1 cup vodka
Place vanilla beans in a clean jar with lid. Pour vodka over beans, and place lid on jar. Allow to sit in a cool dark place for 3 to 5 months, shaking jar occasionally.
