minus-squareGrafZahl [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·22 days agoSo I’m assuming they mean kilo = kilogram, so a single Starbucks would be using roughly 0.0175 gram of pure vanilla a day. The internet is telling me this equals about 0.00004 pound (3.86*10^-5). Anyone a vanilla expert and can tell me how much syrup they make out of that amount of vanilla?
minus-squareProfessorOwl_PhD [any]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·edit-222 days agoI’m no expert but a single bean that’s already been scraped of seeds can flavour about 5 kilos of sugar by just leaving it in the box for a day or two. I imagine they use a mix of real vanilla extract and synthetic vanillin to save money though.
minus-squareGrafZahl [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-221 days agoOh yea that’s helpful. Vanilla beanis weighs 3-6 gram, I’m gonna go with 3 gram. 3 gram vanilla -> 5 kilogram flavoured sugar 0.0175 gram vanilla -> 30 gram flavoured sugar (I’m rounding this a little much maybe but I’m too lazy) I’ll assume syrup will be something like 2 parts sugar to 1 part water - but I dont really know, probably less water. So I get about 45 gram syrup, or 1.6 ounces. So I got 10 teaspoons of vanilla syrup for one Starbucks for a whole day, don’t use it all at once.
