    00:05:40 - Quick recap How to Make Homemade Extracts (Any flavor!) recipe
    1️⃣ Prepare the raw ingredient(s) for extraction. For vanilla extract, use a sharp knife to split the vanilla pod open lengthwise to expose the tiny seeds inside.
    2️⃣ Place the raw ingredient inside an 8 ounce glass bottle or mason jar.
    3️⃣ Pour vodka into bottle to fill, leaving a 1/2-inch space between the vodka and the top of the bottle.
    4️⃣ Place the lid on the jar to close. Let sit for 6 weeks, giving the bottle a gentle shake every 2-3 days. Be sure to store them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
    5️⃣ The extracts will be ready for use after 6 weeks. If you'd like, you can strain the raw ingredients from the extract bottles. Extracts stay good for at least several years.

    You should try using bourbon when making vanilla extract. I use the Double Oak Jim Beam, as it aged in two different barrels to allow a deeper rich caramel flavor that I have never gotten from vodka. I feel that using a bourbon for vanilla extract yields a rounded deeper vanilla flavor which gives my baked goods an extra flavor that my family loves.
    Thanks for expanding my homemade extract recipes. I just started a bottle of cinnamon, orange, and almond extracts.

    To get the most out of the vanillapods:
    - Use the seeds in a recipe
    - Put the leftover pods in a container with some sugar. A large pod can produce about a cup of vanillasugar. After a couple of weeks (shake every couple of days) it's done.
    - The sugar will have dried the vanillapods. But they will still be fragrant. If you end up with a lot of dried vanillapods they can also be used to make extracts, either use vodka or glycerine.

    A suggestion. Most people don't realize that the majority of vodka's sold today are actually made from cheap grain alcohol and not potatoes which is from what true vodka is distilled. You can find an excellent low priced, but highly rated potato vodka at Trader Joe's called "Vodka Monopolowa," imported from Austria. It varies in price from state to state at the TJ's, but for actual potato vodka is still usually cheaper than the fake vodkas made from grain alcohol.

    Well I certainly laud you in your efforts. Extracts can be a bit tricky. I have made many over the years. My bottle of vanilla extract is the size of your Vodka bottle... and as dark as your amber bottles... in a clear bottle. Yes its over a decade old and soooo nice and smooth. Contrary to what was stated I have always heard the cheaper the better for the alcohol. And thats what I use. You can also use bourbon rum and others. I love love love my cinnamon extract. Made from Mexican cinnamon sticks. Turned the vodka a lovely brick red. And delish. Cinnamon cookies are so fabulous. You got the citrus ones down and dont forget grapefruit and lime. I would use much more mint to that jar... really pack it in there. And mint like most delicate leafy herbs can go bad quickly so I would switch to fresh mint as soon as it changes color. As I have explained on my fb page Amazmerizing the pure almond extract is not made with almonds it is made with noyeaux... aka freestone pits. Yes the little nuts inside of cherry peach apricot pits. I have a heavenly bottle of almond extract that is also years old. Glad you are doing these experiments. Many of these types of skills have been dying out. So thankful you are keeping the dialogue open and the art of extracting alive. Namaste ;)

Best thing is to try a short soak of herbs and go from there. Start with a short amount of time and work your way up. I personally would taste test after an hour and go up from there incrementally.

    Thanks for this video. I have made extracts before but using Everclear which is a powerful alcohol. I have never made almond extract but will do so now, since it is so expensive. I bought an almond flavoring and it is called Back Bay Trading Company. I really want the real deal though and choose not to use McCormicks. I have made vanilla, mint, coconut extracts and homemade Grand Marnier (orange), and Kahlua (coffee). All were most excellent especially since I aged them for over a year. Thanks again!

    @kimberlyrobinson3992 5 лет назад +4

    Making extracts is a great idea. I have two practical questions, though. First, those bottle necks you’re using look pretty narrow. I can see getting the mint, orange, coconut, etc. IN the bottles but how do you get them OUT? You can top the vanilla beans with new alcohol but what about the rest? You’d have to pull them out at some point. If you can’t do that, you’d have to toss them out, which seems impractical. Secondly, isn’t it best to use organic oranges and lemons so you don’t get nasty chemicals in your extract from the sprayed peels? I was wondering if you were going to say something about that, but I didn’t hear you mention it.
