1. The full recipe requires $$2 \frac{1}{2}$$ teaspoons of vanilla, and this can be written as an improper fraction: 
   $$
   2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \text{ teaspoons.}
   $$

2. To make a half recipe, multiply the vanilla amount by $$\frac{1}{2}$$:
   $$
   \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{5}{2} = \frac{5}{4}.
   $$

3. Express $$\frac{5}{4}$$ as a mixed number:
   $$
   \frac{5}{4} = 1 \frac{1}{4} \text{ teaspoons.}
   $$

Thus, you need $$ \boxed{1 \frac{1}{4}} $$ teaspoons of vanilla.
You need $$1 \frac{1}{4}$$ teaspoons of vanilla.
