I only use Mexican vanilla (bought in Mexico when we lived in AZ). I have both dark and white. The white is great for whipped cream, white cakes, etc. And the flavor lasts forever. Carol

Thank you all for your responses about Mexican vanilla. I did not know there was a white vanilla. I will have to look for it!

To make Mexican vanilla:
One empty bottle
two long sticks of vanilla
add vodka

Put it in a dark cupboard for ____ months(I don't remember if it is 3, 6 or more months)
Ready to use just like regular vanilla.
Great flavor!

Have never used it but I think it is the same a using any vanilla. As a matter of fact, I make my own vanilla.

How do you make your own vanilla??

It would be Vanilla Beans in a bottle with Vodka, let it sit for about 2 weeks and remember that it is very strong.

My neighbors are Mexican and when they go down on vacation they always bring me back a 5th of 100% vanilla. But I use less because it is stronger than regular!!!!!!!!! You can taste it!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been buying Mexican Vanilla for about 6 years since we became Winter Texans. It is delicious and I only use this now, no other. Buy it for all my friends and relatives and they love it too. It can be strong but I use it exactly as the recipe asks for, teaspoon for teaspoon. Try it, you will love it.
