It is illegal to bring more medication with you, than you will need for a short vacation. A family size bottle of Aspirin can already cause problems when passing customs!

Take two vanilla beans and nick them with a knife. Put them in a pretty bottle (old wine bottles work great) then fill the bottle with the cheapest vodka you can find and cover. In about a month you'll have 100% pure extract and you can 'top off' with vodka as you use it for about a year or so. Even here in the US I make my own vanilla extract.
