No. It is also used in aromatherapy. In fact some hospitals are experimenting with using the scent of vanilla to calm patients before an MRI or CAT scan.
No. Pure vanilla extract should contain only vanilla & alcohol.
No. Only "pure" vanilla extract is made with alcohol
Yes you would use the same amount of either one. The only difference would be if the pure vanilla extract were a double or triple strength variant
Vanilla essence and vanilla extract are not the same. Vanilla essence is artificial, and vanilla extract comes from pure vanilla.
"Pure" vanilla extract is, in effect, a liqueur and should have an indefinite shelf life provided it is stored properly.
Pure vanilla extract should contain only three elements. Alcohol (at least 35% or 70 proof), water, and vanilla beans.
Yes, but it may take more powder to receive the same affect of its liquid cousin. You will want to make sure that the all of the powder dissolves, so add it to the eggs, oil, or butter called for in the recipe. It is also a great hot beverage flavoring.
No, they are not the same. Clear vanilla extract is made with glycerine and predominately used by fondant cake makers or for icings that are needed to remain absolutely white. They're are some people who buy it because its label reads "NO ALCOHOL", even though it is still made with an alcohol solvent. The end result still contains a minute amount, but not enough for the FDA to have it listed as an ingredient.
No it does not only if you had a problem at first or you drank 2 bottles of it
It's not illegal, just stupid. Getting drunk as a minor is only going to cause you problems. Drinking vanilla extract may not be illegal, but what you might do while drunk could be.
I'm assuming vainla excart is vanilla extract. since the vanilla extract is only a flavoring agent, You can safely omit it, however the cookies will taste different. You can substitute have another extract (like almond!), but I would probably only use half the amount called for in the recipe.
acording to my research no. The only ingredients in a normal coke are:-sugar, caramel color, caffeine, phosphoric acid, coca extract, kola nut extract, lime extract, vanilla and glycerin
