Let me ask you a question. What type of Vanilla Flavoring do you like best? Do you use the imitation kind. Thanks.

I don't like to use imitation vanilla. However, if you do use it, you should use about one-half more of the measurement because it is not as concentrated as pure extract.

I confess I cannot find real vanilla that I love this side of the Mexican border, though. (What is it about Mexican vanilla, anyway? Nothing compares). I tried both the paste and the liquid from Williams-Sonoma but I was not impressed. The paste in particular tasted very mediciney.

AGREED!! A friend brought us back some real Vanilla from her Mexican vacation and it is some phenomenal stuff.

I will have to try that some mexican vanilla. Maybe you can purchase it online somewhere. Thanks for the info!

I haven't bought any in years! I make mine with vodka/vanilla beans.
