I thought this might be a good thread to make.
Basically, how to make your stuff stretch. It could be anything, but I'm starting it off with food.
Since Vanilla extract is about an arm and a leg now, I thought of this idea to conserve it.
It's simple, just put the contents into an eye dropper bottle, and measure it out by the drop.
Usually, a glass of water with 5 drops and some stevia(brings out the flavor) does well for a drink flavoring.
Takes about 10 drops for a quart of water for me.
But I tell yah, we save a lot of vanilla extract by doing this.
Health food stores usually carry 1oz eye dropper glass bottles for a reasonable price.
As for cooking, it would take more of course, but I think it's better than just pouring it in, and potentially using an unnecessary amount.
