Notes

Non-alcoholic vanilla?!?! It is actually readily available and widely used in cooking and baking. They offer the same aromatic and flavor qualities as alcoholic vanilla extracts but without the alcohol content. These extracts are made by soaking vanilla beans in a water and glycerin solution, which extracts the flavor compounds from the beans without the need for alcohol. Non-alcoholic vanilla extract is a great option for those who prefer to avoid alcohol in their cooking or baking while still enjoying the classic flavor of vanilla.
