Equipment
1-quart Mason Jar
Ingredients
2Sage Fruit pearscored and sliced
3slicesgingersliced 1/8 inch thick
1vanilla bean
2 1/2cupsvodka
Instructions
Add sliced pears, sliced ginger, and the vanilla bean to the bottom of a 1-quart mason jar.
Use a pairing (or small) knife to cut down the center of the vanilla bean pod, but not all the way through. Lay the pod on your cutting board with the cut side facing up and use your fingers to open it up. Hold the pod in place with one hand and use the knife in the other hand to gently scrape out the tiny black seeds. Then wipe the seeds off the knife and into your mason jar.
Pour the vodka into the mason jar, so all the ingredients are covered.
Seal the vodka and store it in a cool, dark place like a cupboard. Shake it once or twice daily.
Taste test the vodka on day five to see if the flavor is as strong as you'd like it to be. If it is, strain the vodka with a mesh strainer into a clean jar and seal it until using. (If you want more flavor, continue infusing for up to three weeks). Enjoy with your favorite self-care activity.

Notes
If this is your first time making pear infused vodka, start by using a 1:1 ratio of vodka to pears. That’s a good starting point so you can adjust it to your liking when you make your next batch.
