Vanilla
Vanilla is available in two forms, as a bean, and as an extract. Vanilla extract is what most people are familiar with,
as it is a crucial ingredient in cookies. Vanilla extract is where many cakes and pastries get their breadth of flavor.
Vanilla beans on the other hand, need to be cut open to get the flavorful seeds out. Single beans can get quite
expensive, being as much as $4 for a single bean. Vanilla extract is just that - the flavorful extract from the vanilla
beans, and is usually tempered with about a 10-12% alcohol solution to keep the extract from growing all sorts of
nasty things.
