In a large capacity jar with a tight-fitting lid, place the quartered figs, add the whole vanilla beans, and top with vodka. Seal, place a dark place like a cabinet or in the refrigerator and allow to infuse for at least 3 days and up to a week.
Strain infused vodka and transfer to a 1-liter bottle, seal and keep in refrigerator.
Serve chilled or in your favorite fruity vodka drink.
Notes
I used a mix of fresh figs, but any variety of fig works well, especially black mission figs, as they are a sweeter variety.
