However —- I’ve also seen people mention botulism when making homemade garlic oil I believe it is.

Is there any risk with the vanilla?

Bottle it now in glass, shake once a week, and distribute in 6 months.

Please don't waste a bottle of perfectly fine vodka.

Personally I would not use a homemade solution like this no matter who made it. Just too ick for me.

What is so ick about it? Genuinely curious.

I'd be more skeeved about restaurant food with roaches, rodents, chemicals to deal with them, produce picked with unclean hands, and so on.

The roaches get periodic inspections by the government.

I would appreciate the thought, but I would also throw this gift out. But so what? Not everything you give people will hit the right note. But most people will appreciate the thought.

Once someone gifted me homemade Limoncello made with splenda (gag me) and I even appreciated the thought on that one.
