About
Vanilla extract is a concentrated liquid flavoring that shares nearly the same density and volume as plain water.
Made by steeping vanilla beans in alcohol and water, vanilla extract has a density of roughly 8.34 pounds per gallon (1 g/mL). It takes up the same physical space as pure water, flowing freely rather than clinging like dense syrups. A typical grocery store bottle holds 2 fluid ounces (59 mL), which weighs around 2.1 ounces (60 g) without the packaging. This makes it significantly lighter by volume than heavy liquid sweeteners like honey or molasses.
From Wikipedia
Vanilla extract is a solution made by macerating and percolating vanilla pods in a solution of ethanol and water. It is considered an essential ingredient in many Western desserts, especially baked goods like cakes, cookies, brownies, and cupcakes, as well as custards, ice creams, and puddings.
