In relation to alcohol content, the majority of Queen Vanilla extracts are made by combining pure vanilla beans with a mixture of alcohol (sugar cane-derived ethanol) and water. This allows the flavour compounds from the pure vanilla bean to infuse into the alcohol/water mixture, which then forms the pure vanilla extract. The highest percentage of alcohol Queen Vanilla contains is 35%. This means that if you use 1 tsp Queen Vanilla extract in your baking (5ml), you would at most add 1.75ml alcohol to your cake (a tiny amount). The high temperatures achieved during baking will cause most of this alcohol to evaporate out of your cake with the flavour remaining intact, as the alcohol is simply a carrier for the flavour. Queen 99% Sugar & Alcohol Free Vanilla Extract is made with pure vanilla beans and is 99% sugar-free and alcohol free. This vanilla extract is cold extracted through a natural process to capture the full flavour and aroma of vanilla without alcohol or added sugars. Alternatively, Queen Finest pure vanilla beans are option for your alcohol-free vanilla needs.
