When vanilla was first brought to Europe by the Spanish who conquered Mexico, it was only used in an unusual new drink called cocoa. No one considered using vanilla alone until the new beverage was brought to the court of Queen Elizabeth I. In 1602, the queen's apothecary suggested that vanilla could be used to flavor food and drink. Elizabeth loved vanilla so much that in the last year of her reign, she ordered it cooked into everything she ate. Today, vanilla is the most popular flavor in the world. It has the ability to enhance the taste of almost anything. Faerie's pure vanilla extract contains NO added sugar or corn syrup and is specially formulated to deliver maximum vanilla flavor in a wide range of uses. Baking tip — when making cookies or cakes, always cream the vanilla in with the butter and sugar. This will give you the most even vanilla flavor and the butter surrounds the vanilla flavor and protects it from the heat, making your baked goods taste even better.
