Notes

Vanilla extract is "Brewer's Best Natural Vanilla Type Flavoring Extract 4 oz"

Personally I think 4 oz is a little too much. I prefer just a little vanilla flavoring as an after taste. 1-2 oz would probably accomplish this. 4 oz you can really taste the vanilla, which is still good but almost like a cream soda at that point.
