Vanilla extract is a liquid flavouring made by steeping vanilla beans in alcohol and water. One metric cup (250 ml) of vanilla extract weighs about 220 grams or 7.76 ounces, since the alcohol base makes it lighter than water. Most recipes call for it by the teaspoon, where 1 tsp weighs around 4.4 grams.

Recipes usually measure vanilla extract in teaspoons, but bottles list contents in millilitres or fluid ounces. This page converts between teaspoons, grams, millilitres, and cups so you can use whatever measure your recipe gives you.

Vanilla essence is a synthetic, alcohol-free stand-in for extract. Swap teaspoon-for-teaspoon, but essence delivers a milder, single-note flavour, so a touch more (about 1.25 tsp essence per 1 tsp extract) helps if you want a closer match. See what 1 fluid ounce of vanilla essence is in tablespoons.

Vanilla bean paste is thicker than extract and carries visible seeds for the speckled finish people love in ice cream and crème brûlée. Swap teaspoon-for-teaspoon; paste brings stronger vanilla notes and a touch of added sweetness from its sugar base. See what 1 fluid ounce of vanilla bean paste is in tablespoons.
