"Vanilla ice cream appears white because the primary ingredients in its base, like milk and cream, are naturally white, while the small amount of brown vanilla extract used is diluted enough to not significantly change the color."

You just reminded me that I have a brand new quart of it in the freezer! I think it might be time to have some, I have some CBD hot cocoa mix that I like to sprinkle on top 😋
