     Although most of the time we use vanilla extract for baking our favorite desserts, it can be used in another way.  Most households have a bottle of vanilla extract setting around for months, and sometimes years without ever being touched.  A bottle of vanilla extract lasts forever if there isn’t someone in the home who loves to bake.  Have you ever tried using vanilla extract while making a pitcher of tea?  A teaspoon or two of Vanilla Extract added to tea gives tea a wonderful flavor.  The next time you’re entertaining a dinner party at your home, try making some vanilla tea, your guest will love it!  Vanilla extract isn’t wine, so there isn’t any need to let it age-go ahead, try it in tea.
