    I have made my own Homemade Vanilla,there is a difference.

    My Son likes Flan,I think he enjoys using the hand held torch,to carmelize the top.

    Thank-you for a very nice recipe.

    Kind Regards

    mexican vanilla is the "real", good stuff. a major export from mexico. "Adams" vanilla extract is a pretend vanilla. real vanilla extract is made from alcohol and vanilla bean only. you can taste the difference, making mexican vanilla worth a purchase. you can also make your own vanilla extract by soaking a vanilla bean in a jar with a cup of good vodka. takes approx 6 months to cure fully.
