About Vanilla alcoholic extract

Vanilla alcoholic extract is a liquid flavouring made by extracting vanilla beans in an alcohol-containing liquid. It is usually dark brown and aromatic, with a sweet, warm vanilla scent and flavour. Strength and composition depend on the beans, extraction method, alcohol content and any additional ingredients; the label does not by itself establish a single formulation.

It is used in small amounts to flavour baked goods, desserts and drinks. Commercial products vary, and some vanilla-flavoured liquids use added flavourings rather than bean extract. It is distinct from vanilla paste, vanilla powder and non-alcoholic vanilla flavourings, which have different forms and may have different ingredients.
