Answers to your questions
Frequently asked questions
Pod or extract?
The pod, whenever you can. Extract contains alcohol, which lowers the freezing point, and that has to be counted in the formula.
How do I get all the flavour out?
By splitting it lengthwise, scraping out the seeds and letting the pod infuse in the hot milk for at least half an hour.
Does the pod count in the formula?
It adds neither solids nor fat: it infuses and is removed. That is why in our reviews it sits apart, outside the table.
How are they stored?
In an airtight jar, in the dark and at room temperature. In the fridge they harden and can go mouldy.
