If you want an uncooked carrier for the vanilla flavor, why not just soak the snipped vanilla bean in water for a few hours, then throw the bean and the water into whatever you're making? If you're using a Vitamix for a smoothie, or a food processor for a banana cream dessert, or whatever you're prepping, you can skip the alcohol infusion step. But glycerine isn't raw. And its sometimes not even derived from food (see what Wikipedia has to say about it.) Sue, glycerine isn’t a raw food, either (nor is maple syrup).
