Homemade Extracts

Ingredients

  • ½ cup vodka per extract
  • 1 ½ oranges
  • 2 lemons
  • ¼ cup raw almonds
  • sprig of fresh mint

Instructions

  • I tested out four different flavors: almond, lemon, orange, and mint. Since I was testing, I didn't want to make large batches (in case they didn't work out). For each extract I started with 1/2 cup vodka. For the orange extract, I added the rinds from 1 1/2 oranges. For the lemon extract, I added the rinds of two lemons. For the almond extract, I added 1/4 cup raw almond slivers (no skins). And for the mint extract, I added a small handful of mint leaves.
  • I placed the ingredients in a clean jar, sealed it up, and waited for two weeks.

Notes

Check the post because most of these worked well but one did not! Also I shared some additional tips and tricks.
