How to Make Homemade Vanilla, Mint, Almond and Citrus Extracts
Ingredients
  • 3 cups water
  • 6 cut vanilla beans
  • For the flavor of homemade vanilla extract without alcohol or glycerin, get the recipe for vanilla sugar here.
  • Mint Extract
  • a quart jar with a tight-fitting lid
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Vodka-again using the cheaper stuff is awesome
  • Simply grab some mint leaves early in the morning. I have found the best flavor comes from leaves picked at this time. Rinse and dry off with a towel. Remove the leaves from any stems and stuff into the quart jar.
  • Cover with the alcohol and allow to sit in a cool, dry place for 3 to 4 weeks. Strain the extract and compost the leaves.
  • peppermint leaves
