I have seven vanilla beans, does anyone know how much vodka to add to make extract?
TIA
I found info on joythebaker that says 3 beans per 1 cup of vodka.
Here's the instructions:

You rock klutzy_baker! Thanks!
Good luck! Got my vanilla resting in the pantry. Can wait til my six months are up!
Almost 1 month down and my vanilla is looking GREAT! I'm so excited, but still have a ways to go. 
So do you leave it for 2 months or 6 months. The link provided says 2 months but Caked4life just said 6??
vgray...Most posts/articles I've read says 6 months, this is why I chose this time, but I'm guessing it can be used after 2 months as well. The flavor may not be as intense I would imagine.

Awesome, thanks for clearing that up, makes sense. Also, one more question lol how long does it last after it is ready?
It lasts forever... really. I made this a few years ago as christmas gifts. When I bottled it in the smaller-decorative bottles, I put a few vanilla beans in each bottle and trimmed the top/bottoms off (to make the look "pretty"). I then took all the "scrap" vanilla bean parts and put them in a mason jar with a little more vodka. I've been using it for years now (just keep adding a little vodka when it gets low -- last year I added a few more vanilla beans I had left over from baking).
