NOVEL THINKING

I think I expected the extract to remain white?

You wld want to keep your extracts in dark glass because they “keep” better then clear glass especially if they’re in a sunny place in the kitchen. Steeping time: one month or longer for a more pronounced flavor.

I use it in my baking all the time, and there is no alcohol flavor or danger of getting drunk. As you make the extracts, feel free to improvise at any point to tailor them to your desired flavor. I’m not sure, to be honest.

Add vodka, filling up to the neck of the bottle. I would like to know how you would use Strawberries, Blueberries, or other flavors to make extracts flavoring, I do a lot of baking .

I used Smirnoff vodka, but I think you’re safe using any brand you like!

Ethylene glycol is the poisonous anti-freeze.

Hence why they’re usually in dark bottles at the grocery store.

All you need is some jars, alcohol, and whatever flavors are calling to you.

I made my extract in a pint size mason jar.

The extract solution used to pull these essences from the plant material is usually ethyl alcohol that’s been distilled from fermented corn. The concentrated flavor essences and aromatics may be of natural or artificial origin, but the primary difference is the type of base the flavor is diluted in and how the flavor is kept in solution.

After 5-6 weeks, you have extract! Store in a cool, dark place. Yes, you may sell these with the alcohol since it isn’t considered drinkable.

Your email address will not be published. Once your desired flavor has been attained, strain out the flavorings.

Hey there!

Just wash the fruit really well before you use the peelings … I would like to try LIME flavoring … for the vanilla flavoring I have used bottles that have the stoppers (old fashioned beer tops) I make my vanilla and can pour it into another bottle so that I can keep a fresh batch of vanilla at all times. You’ll use a lot of flavoring for a little liquid, seeping for far longer, to create an extremely concentrated flavor. My leaves went from a vibrant green in the beginning to kind of a dull brown by the end so I took them out just to be safe – I poured my mint extract into another container through a sieve and discarded the mint leaves, then poured the filtered extract back into the bottle.). I used 5 vanilla beans. Making my first lemon extract.

How long can you keep adding vodka/bourbon to the vanilla beans before the extract isn’t any good ??? for the first time in years, I’ve put mint in a pot in my garden. It’s just great!!!

It’s there, and it’s intense. To help me pay for my domain, hosting, grocery bills, etc., this blog is supported through the use of affiliate links (e.g., Amazon). This was a wonderful experiment! The jar that I have now is going on 2 years old, and I’ve refilled it twice. Your information will *never* be shared or sold to a 3rd party. food-grade vegetable glycerin is used in some flavorings, however propylene glycol is what is used in most food flavorings. In grocery stores, you’ll find the usual suspects in the extract section: vanilla, almond, coconut, lemon, and so on.

Wow, thats pretty good.

The little mini wine bottles they sell in packs of 4 are PERFECT for extracts! I just love how beautiful your extracts are! Anywhere. Hope the other extract flavors turn out well for you . If you’ve ever made infused vodkas, you’ll find that the process is actually pretty similar. It is safe to use around animals. Love this. Since every flavor will shine, do yourself a flavor and use high-quality ingredients. So does the extract have a residual alcohol?

Any suggestions?

I’ve been making vanilla extract for a while.

I’m not sure…I have heard of people infusing water directly with fruit (vs. extract), but I don’t see why you couldn’t do it with extract. The alcohol flavor may not be desirable if you are adding it to a recipe that doesn't cook it out. In general, you can make the extract as strong or as subtle as you like.

I would like to bake something healthy for my son. Early on in the infusion process, you can use them for cocktails. I’ll definitely be using them for the cooks I know. Or can you use it for cupcakes for kids? So excited to make my very own! You’ll have to let me know how the bourbon-version turns out! How many vanilla beans for a quart jar?

The alcohol acts as a preservative for the flavoring and allows it to keep for long periods. You don’t have to use alcohol (see comments below re: food-grade glycerin), but I don’t think water would work…. Propylene glycol is used as anti-freeze, yes, but it is the edable kind.

Or does this tend to be either weaker or stronger than the store-bought kind? This inspiring course will make you think differently about how flavors can combine and will leave you excited for baking in fresh new ways. Like it wouldn’t be safe for kids to consume? Keep repeating until the flavor has reached your desired taste.

Have I ever mentioned my love for homemade extracts? After 5-6 weeks, you have extract! There are a few good reasons for making your own extracts. If you’re on a mission to create a cake that tastes just like your favorite fruit, you might want to consider extracts.

I allowed myself to buy cute glass bottles this year and actually used them to make awesome, gift-able things – like these flavored extracts.

My taste buds taste mostly the alcohol especially in mint. Everclear is just strong vodka Everclear is about 180 proof or about 90% alcohol where as vodka is 70-90 proof or about 45% most of the difference in vodka is the water that it is diluted with vodka like ever clear it distilled off at a high enough temperature to be pure alcohol and pure water. Limoncello IS made by soaking lemon zest in vodka ;p, can the extracts be used to flavour water? Even after cooking it. Some notes I found re: extracts made with glycerin – (1) they are more syrupy in consistency than the alcohol-based stuff, (2) they are sugar-free, and (3) they should be stored in a brown bottle to maximize shelf life.

I may try the veg glycerin. It is possible to substitute the vodka with something called “food-grade vegetable glycerin” – see my response to the first commenter for more information. Anything to justify buying more tiny bottles , I have an idea! Insanity!

Can you personally make me hazelnut extract???

Today, I am sharing how to make Homemade Flavored Extracts as part of my “Baking Basics” series. View Products By.

hi, can i add water or whatever but only vodka or alcohol not ?! Thank YOU for reading! You should probably peel off the skin – the alcohol will extract the flavor from whatever you soak in it, so if you leave the peels of a lychee on your extract could end up being bitter (I’m assuming, since I’ve never bitten into a lychee peel!). Why make your own homemade flavor extracts?

Blue would be alright to use. Order online do a goggle search I purchased 2 gal for about $45 shipped. I guess I wasn’t expecting it to be so strong! You can always swap out the old fruit for new fruit!

Myself, I always use Everclear brand, 180 proof, which is 90% pure alcohol. Also, I have some glycerin I bought on Amazon for making bubble solution. If you’re avid about baking and love a good DIY project, this is bound to be great news: it’s easy to learn how to make flavor extracts at home.

I hope you enjoy the extracts . You can use the extracts as you normally would in recipes. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. These are, I think, the perfect DIY holiday gift – adorable, useful, and cost-effective for everyone!

Guys.

How do you make your own flavored extracts? I don’t know what’s going on with me this year, but I have literally flagged every single DIY food-related article I’ve run across online (damn you, Buzzfeed). This will create extracts that will have an impact on entire recipes and infuse flavor in bread, cakes and all sorts of goodies.

I found a recipe online, and it was so unbelievably easy to make, and the resulting extract was so delicious that I haven’t gone back to the store-bought stuff since. Cut open your beans, zest your citrus, and peel the leaves off your mint. Note: Why such a short steeping time? Hope that helps!

As for containers, mason jars are a great option because they are glass and keep a good airtight seal. No thanks.

Bottle upon bottle of flavored extracts, in four flavors: vanilla, mint, orange, and lemon. Quality. .

It's the drop that makes a difference. Food Color & Flavor Mixing Guides. Can’t wait to try the others!

These two items are also 2 of the main items in Ecig Juice. I'm Tina - D.C. based attorney, lover of reality and food-related television, stress-eater, and unabashed fantasy/sci-fi dork. for example hint water uses fruit essence and flavour. DISCLAIMER That’s a fabulous idea!

Bourbon, rum or stronger spirits can also be used, but do note that they will impart a flavor, but perhaps that bourbon flavor could be creative addition! Her use was to fill them with water tinted with food coloring and display them on her kitchen window sill, reminiscent of stined glass.

I love them, but practically don’t find much use for them.

Thank you for this information! These homemade extracts come together in minutes, and once complete, they’ll keep for months. Best not to go below 50% alcohol (take the “proof” and divide in half to get %).

I haven’t tried fruit extracts yet, but I think I would take a similar approach as the vanilla, etc.

It won’t make a difference once in cookies or cakes, however, to give as gifts, not in a transparent bottle….

For this holiday season, I wanted to share the joy of homemade vanilla extract with my friends, and decided to throw in a few other flavors just for kicks.

What’s the brand of the vodka or bourbon you used???

Mint and citrus seemed like winning, holiday-appropriate flavors. After a few weeks, you have extract! Shove everything into separate bottles, add vodka, and…wait.

Every few days, tilt your bottle upside down to gently mix the liquid inside.

Filed Under: DIY, Holiday Tagged With: DIY, gifting. Easy – buy some bottles, a handle of vodka, a few vanilla beans, some citrus fruits, and some mint.

Keep in mind that these are suggestions, not rules. Photos via Cakespy, unless otherwise noted.

I have a question, would it matter what color bottles I use? Peel thin strips of zest from your lemon. and USEFUL! Am from tamilnadu, india. Brand does not matter, but purity does, so my advice is to never use less than 100 proof, and I recommend 180 proof, especially if items are to be a gift, for the preservative factor and to prevent bacterial growth.

Are y’all as excited about DIY foodie holiday gifts as I am? Would caution folks to use organically grown citrus for this, as the conventional stuff is loaded with nasty fungicides. I just made my very first bottles of vanilla and lemon extract.

Too bad you cant have the pretty colorful bottles though. I think you can get away with using pretty much any brand of vodka/bourbon – we’re not super classy liquor drinkers, so we tend to just grab whichever bottle gives us the most bang for our buck ;p. Extracts are no different that Herbal Tinctures.
