Prepare the strawberries. Rinse them and use fork prongs to lightly crush them, but avoid mashing them. You just want the flavors of the strawberries to come out.
Combine the vodka, strawberries, and vanilla bean in a large bowl together.
Pour the mixture into a bottle. Leave it in a dark, but cool place for about 3 weeks to allow the ingredients to infuse.
Strain the mixture. Wrap a damp cheesecloth over the top of the bottle and strain the liquid into another bottle.
Add the sugar syrup to the mixture to taste.
Allow the mixture to age for an additional 3 to 5 weeks.
Finished.
