Unfortunately much of the vanilla extract from Mexico is adulterated with tonka tree beans (containing coumarin) and should be suspect.
I should charge 5%
uhh. how much did he charge you when you were growin' up?
You should use the same amount as called for in the recipe. According to Cooks Illustrated, imitation Vanilla has a *lot* more vanillin than real vanilla will have. Apparently, to be normal strength vanilla, you can only have so much vanilla. There's double-strength vanilla, too, which is what I prefer to use.
If they are very good friend of you, you should not charge. Otherwise charge according to how much you work.
they should charge just enough but not too much
you should charge 3.00 dollars or 1.00 dollars
most definitely there is a huge difference! real vanilla (i assume you are referring to real vanilla extract) comes from real vanilla beans (pods), and their flavor is much more true and pronounced than the artificial stuff... i would not use artificial in any dessert recipe as it will likely compromise the flavor of the final product! i mean, you could do it, but you'll get a better final result with the real stuff!!
Using a good quality Vanilla Extract one teaspoon (5ml) will provide the same flavour as one bean. Beware of Vanilla Essense which is not made from Vanilla Beans. For more Vanilla info browse to www.reunionfood.co.nz
however much you want to charge
The rate you should charge depends on how long it takes to get all of the trees planted. You can multiply how much you expect to make per hour by how long it takes to get an estimate of how much you should charge for the job.
Assuming you mean liquid vanilla extract, it will stay good forever. The vanilla essence was extracted using alcohol, and the finished product is typically 35%alcohol, so it's not a bacteria-friendly environment. The reason most of us keep extracts is that fresh vanilla beans, like any produce, will grow moldy and rotten if not kept in an airtight container. Even airtight, the beans will eventually dry out and not be good for much but scenting your sugar canister, so extract is your best long-term bet.
