Cheap and simple to make your own, and the flavour beats any
commercial product. I've been doing this ever since someone gave me a
bottle of her home-made to try (makes a great gift for a cooking
friend).

Save a small glass bottle with a clean screwtop, wash thoroughly and
dry. Slit some quality vanilla pods lengthways with a knife (leave the
seeds in, you're just exposing them to leach out their flavour) and post
the pods into the bottle. If they are longer than the bottle, cut them
to fit and post the trimmed bits in too. Two pods will be fine for a
bottle that holds 6 ot 8 ounces. Now fill the bottle to the top with any
left-over spirits you have; I favour brandy or sherry or a mix. Cap
bottle, shake it well, store it in a cool dark place and shake it once a
week or when you remember. After six months it's ready to use (leave the
pods in, no need to take them out as you use up the liquid).
I should go and start a new batch.
