Vanilla extract is pricey and I exploit it every day in my espresso so I didn’t strive it however know it’s an possibility. 
• Cleaning soap molds are a person choice. I actually like silicone molds since you may simply pop the cleaning soap out. I’m not even positive if cooking spray is critical when utilizing silicone molds. I do like a extra pure look and can finally get one thing like THIS the place you narrow the cleaning soap.
