In baking, vanilla extract is often used, which can greatly enhance fragrance. But usually when we go to buy vanilla extract, we will find that it is very expensive. So, we can make it by ourselves at home, it's cheap and easy to use~ In addition, we can make some vanilla sugar easily, and even the vanilla extract is omitted when making cakes~
