What exactly is Vanilla Concentrate?

[kayEx]

A friend brought a bottle back from Mexico and I am not sure what to do with it. I have been making my own Vanilla extract, could I just put some in my extract or does it have other uses?

[embee]

Vanilla extract comes in different strengths, such as single, double, etc. Each represents a higher concentration of vanilla in the extract.

There is also a possibly that the Mexican "vanilla concentrate" is not real vanilla and could be dangerous. Be certain of the source before using.

Yes, I agree with embee - I'd be very cautious about using that product until you are certain it's safe.
