Vanilla Extract

As I have entered into the world of baking, I'm always mesmerized with all the tools and ingredients found in the bakery supply store. Eager in exploring myself using the ingredients, i found myself becoming aware of the use of this one product, the imported vanilla essence in the store. It doesn't have a halal certification from it's origin. The one that's certified halal, is only a small tiny bottle sold in supermarket. and I have to buy that in large quantity which that large quantity is the imported not certified ones.
I did my own small research of searching the recipe in making own pure vanilla extract, (there are a lot of recipes and almost all using vodka which is alcohol which is also Haram for Me and fellow muslims), finally i came across this website that shares recipes among members and Alhamdulillah, I found the extract recipe with no alcohol. Now i can make vanilla extract in large quantities without worrying the ingredients in it. Yahoo!... Let me share you the extract recipe
