Product Information

There have been news reports of kids abusing this and coming to school drunk, such as with Trader Joe’s bourbon vanilla. ( 3) Now that you know how easy it is to make homemade vanilla extract, you might want to consider giving jars as gifts. I’m thinking that even the person who has “everything” would enjoy a cute dish towel, a wooden spoon, and a bottle of homemade vanilla as a housewarming gift or Christmas gift!

Lemon Juice- Lemon juice is the hallmark flavor of the sidecar. Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.If both are natural, the only difference between vanilla extract and vanilla flavor is the solvent used to make them. Vanilla extract uses alcohol. Vanilla flavor uses glycerin or similar. Note on vegetable glycerin: please make sure it is food grade, if you are unsure ask an expert. I used Now Solutions 100% pure Vegetable Glycerin that is fine to consume internally as well as externally as a multi-purpose moisturizer. What exactly is vegetable glycerin? It is made from vegetable oil and is a by-product of soap manufacturing. The FDA has classified it as a carbohydrate. Its wonderfully popular in foods because of it's sweet taste and the fact that it has less calories than sugar, but for topical use, glycerin absorbs moisture from the air around it. Pretty magical stuff, really. By the way, did you know you can make your own at home? Here’s how to make vanilla extract. Is There Non-Alcoholic Vanilla Extract? The more vanilla beans you use, the stronger the taste. It’s a good idea to shake the bottle periodically.

As you use the vanilla glycerin, you can refill your bottle with more glycerin to continue to extract flavor from the same vanilla beans. Extraction in this recipe takes a lot longer than it does with ethanol alcohol. Our standard extract uses alcohol as the solvent to extract the flavour from our Vanilla beans. The Alcohol-Free Vanilla Extract uses rapeseed glycerine (which is palm-free and vegan-friendly). NB: All extracts can be supplied in Various sizes up to 25 Litres. Please get in touch to arrange alternative sizes to those listed online. I recommend using either Planifolia or Tahitensis as these are the easiest to find and usually the cheapest. 3. Let Infuse

Vanilla extract is an alcohol solution containing vanillin, an organic compound that is responsible for the vanilla flavor of vanilla beans. It is typically made with ethyl alcohol and is required by law to be at least 35% alcohol and to contain at laest 100g of vanilla beans per liter of extract. The remaining portion of the extract is usually water. Ethyl alcohol is used because it has virtually no flavor of its own and it is very good at extracting the flavor from other substances, like vanilla beans. Alcohol dissolves during baking, leaving your baked goods with a good vanilla flavor and very little trace that the alcohol was ever present at all. Absolutely! You can reuse vanilla beans for a second batch of vanilla, and many people will tell you that they have used the same beans for several batches. They do lose potency after each batch, so you will need to either age the extract longer before use or add a few new beans along with the reused beans for the best flavor. Just minor suggestions. First, it is almost universally agreed that you need to weigh the vanilla beans, not just put a specific number. It would be great to tell people both, weight and number.

The word Fold identifies the quantity of Vanilla Beans used in the production of the Extract. The higher the Fold the stronger the Extract.The non-alcoholic extract may not be as dark as the alcohol-based vanilla and will have a similar consistency to syrup but will still have the same flavor as vanilla extract. Oftentimes homemade vanilla extract is just as flavorful (if not more!) than store-bought, even if the color isn’t as deep. Don’t let this deter you. Give it a try in your baking and see what you think! White fur = sugar crystals To get started, mix the vegetable glycerin and distilled water together until they are completely combined.
