I'd like to try to make my own, I go through so many bottles of the stuff and it's so expensive.
I found this instructional video.
http://video.about.com/gourmet.....a.htm
It looks very simple, except for one thing - what on earth are vanilla beans, where do I buy them and do they need a hechsher? (ie are they processed in any way or is that how they are grown?)
Thanks!

I buy mine from my local spice merchant.
You can also order online... a quick google came up with tons of sites. Here's one http://www.organickingdom.com/-p-763.html
I use 4 beans for 1 liter of vodka, I also scrape the beans and drop the scrapings and the pods into the vodka and I never use it before 8 weeks have gone by... IMO 3 weeks is just not enough.

I get mine from Watkins every year, when I order my black peppercorns. You can get a really big one which saves you $$$$$.

Yesha once posted a beautiful picture of her own brew. It inspired me to make my own. It is great!

The vanilla beans are cured after they are picked. This usually involves either ovens or sun-drying.
