Homemade Mint Extract
I’ve already shared how to make vanilla extract and orange extract. Today, I’m showing off my newly made homemade mint extract. And it’s just as easy to do!
For starters, you’ll only need some vodka, fresh mint leaves and a jar. Place your mint leaves in the jar, pour in the vodka and let time work it’s magic. In 6 weeks, you’ll have homemade mint extract that you can now use in your recipes. Hello mint chocolate!
Give it a try at home and make some for yourself to use or give it away as a gift. It’s something that doesn’t cost a lot to make especially if you already have the vodka in your liquor cabinet. I rarely drink so I had a bottle that was going to waste.
Can you see a theme here – vodka + ingredient = extract. What other extracts do you suggest I try?
