Product Description

Vanilla, the only orchid used in food, has become a favorite the world over due to its unparalleled fragrance and complex, heady flavor. Vanilla is indigenous to central America where it was discovered by the native people centuries before the Spanish arrived. The Aztec emperor, Montezuma, was said to be drinking an elixir for longevity made from cacao, vanilla and honey when the conquistadors were ushered in for an audience. Great for home consumption or to serve as a coffee alternative in a restaurant.
