This cool Valentines Gift idea;  Vanilla Vodka is easy to infuse yourself.

Making homemade vanilla infused vodka is much easier than making homemade Limoncello.  Homemade vanilla infused vodka also infuses much quicker than Limoncello at 3-4 days, (Limoncello takes at least a month).  Vanilla infused vodka takes a fantastic homemade Valentine present that can be enjoyed by you or your Valentine.  You can also use the vanilla beans later to infuse sugar for Vanilla sugar, which are wonderful as gifts and for cookies.
