so sorry! it's supposed to be 1/2 teaspoon. Fixed it now :)

Oh my gosh, delicious. House smell so good! I assumed the measurement of vanilla to be 1/2 teaspoon not as typed 1/12 in recipe above. I topped with the mixture used for rimming glasses of Pumpkin Ale and Christmas Ale replacing coarse sugar.
