Vanilla extract is a flavouring agent derived from the vanillin in Vanilla Beans. Check any large baking goods store in Lagos, they might stock Vanilla extract especially the Milton brand.
However there is Vanilla Essence which is very readily available, it is not made with real vanilla but with chemicals.

Well done Sis. I would like to know if the ordinary blender used for blending pepper will be able to blend the almond and dates. Also how long can one keep the milk before it gets spoilt. How do we preserve the milk.

You can buy pitted dates from shoprite. However I also buy from Hausa people at Agege Market. It is called Dabino in Hausa.
