Vanilla extract is liquid, so use measuring spoons to measure it, or for large quantities use a measuring cup for liquids. Vanilla powder can be measured with measuring spoons or a measuring cup for solids. Whole bean vanilla doesn't usually need a measuring device, since the recipe will say something like "seeds of 1 whole vanilla bean."
One can measure vanilla extract with a teaspoon, tablespoon, or any other method to measure liquids.

Yes,Vanilla is a flavoring derived from the seed pods of orchids in the genus Vanilla native to Mexico.Vanilla essence comes in two forms.# Real seedpod extract is an extremely complicated mixture of several hundred different compounds. # Synthetic essence, consisting basically of a solution of artificial vanillin in ethanol.Humans can tell the difference between the artificial essence and the real extract, the real extract is much, much better.
