I am not totally sure Catherine, if steeping vanilla pods in Vodka would extract enough of the scent. I know it works better with resins such as pine, cedar, myrrh etc, as they are soluble in alcohol and not much else.
However it is always worth experimenting.
It may be that you would need a distillation process for the vanilla pods... But I have never built one and am unsure how it could be done. I did try distilling something once with a "Heath Robinson" contraption I created. All I got was a lot of steam and a damp kitchen, a very late dinner, and a lot of mess! LOL! My husband gave up on me and watched the football. He couldn't even cook his own dinner as I had commandeered the kitchen. He ate three oranges and a bag of nuts.
There has to be a better way than Tobi's distillery! haha
