I have recipes from 1800’s that a great, great, great grandmother made flavorings for income. The paper is very brown & crumbling. You’ve convinced me I need to get the recipes out and preserve them by re-writing them down or copying the pages.
One of the extracts i make is clove. Just 2 ounces of whole dried cloves jn a 4oz mason jar with vodka. Its a great flavkring, but also works to slosh a small amount around in your mouth for minor irritations and discomfort while you wait for the dentist!
@janetbirky1626 - I will be honest, the clove is the least used. I put a few drops in tea and I use it in molasses cookies which are a favorite around here. Mint and citrus are interchangeable with lemon and peppermint extract.
If you have blueberry bushes slice up the lemons and oranges and place them underneath the soil your berries love the high acid soil and it’s all organic zero chemicals 👍🏼
Something I started several years ago, was to make 2 quarts of vanilla. I let it set for almost a year, and then started using vanilla, and pouring some into smaller bottles, as gifts, from 1 of the quart jars. Once that got down to about 1/3 to 1/2 gone, I refilled it with alcohol, and placed it behind the second quart jar, and started using vanilla from jar #2, rotating them as soon as they got down to my selected amount! I've had the vanilla going for 4-5 years, and just added more vanilla beans, leaving the original beans in the jars, one time. I've never had to start vanilla from scratch, or wait the 8-12 months, for a new batch to develop the desired flavor! I highly recommend this technique! There's a way to make vanilla by putting closed pint jars of alcohol and vanilla beans into an instant pot or electric canner, and somehow running it for a certain time, and the vanilla is instantly infused into the alcohol. It must be done in closed pint jars, to avoid evaporation. I've never done it, so I recommend looking up a video on how it's done. I can't remember if it was in an insta pot or an electric canner, so please, look it up. I was surprised how fast it worked, when you need it for last minute gift ideas!
I've made it in the instant pot and it worked well. When you add more alcohol to your 1st quart jar and tuck it behind the 2nd jar, do you add more fresh beans or just reuse the old ones only?
I never thought about making quarts of it! I don't bake as much as I used to, but I really enjoy using spiced rum to soak the vanilla beans in. Adds a touch of extra flavor.
Another option for cheap jars is to not only check out what they have in the glassware at dollar tree but look at drinks everywhere you go; many come in super cute bottles that can be repurposed. I only get the few that I drink, which you can do as well, but if something is on sale for cheap and the containers are glass and attractive, consider using them. Goo gone willremove just about any label and acetone will remove any printed on label.
My SIL made homemade extract and gifted us some! We had to wait about 3mths, shake every so often, finally used it for making banana nut bread and French toast was sooo good!
Thanks for info! Keep in mind that if you have people with food allergies, you want to be careful not to cross contaminate making items and when dehydrating.
I started mine 3 years ago! Vanilla, coconut, almond, cinnamon, Carmel, chocolate/cocoa beans, & coffee! So easy & delicious! I gifted mine to family, church friends & neighbors!
I keep homemade vanilla extract made up in my pantry but I never thought about making the other flavors. Great idea. I give the vanilla out for Christmas gifts plus I use a lot of it myself for baking. Before my Rosemary plant died I used to dehydrate it and grind it to give as gifts too. My nephew always asks if have more Rosemary he can have. Guess I will need to plant some more. Thanks for the great extract ideas
A newbie here! What a great ideal! Last year, I made vanilla extract. I need to try the others. I gifted my daughter jar last year and she loved it. She has hinted around for more. She said what a difference in the homemade and store bought.
I was so jealous of the price of vodka. I would be looking at special offer to get that for $80 in Australia. No wonder you can afford to give 6 extracts as one gift. Love your video. 🎄🎁✨
I trimmed the dead parts off…placed the plant indoors( mixed used coffee grounds & crushed egg shells& watered every other day)when weather was warm took it to a partial shade area.. it grew back better than ever 💝
Oh I make vanilla and after it's been shaken and stored for 6 months I pour it in a pot and simmer it for 3 to 5 minutes to cook out some of the alcohol. It's absolutely amazing . I have a quart about ready . I'll cook it down about 3/4 to a cup less .
I love these! I've made vanilla and peppermint before, but never thought about the others. I've also made chocolate extract with cocoa nibs...it's delicious!
Those are absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had known it was so easy to make my own extracts. I would have been doing it for decades now lol. I have a huge family, myself, my wife, and 6 children and I bake often. I will be trying this myself! Thanks for the video!
Love this! I make vanilla extract from scratch, but it never occurred to me that I could make such a wide selection of extracts. I think I want to make an orange clove extract, and use it in brown sugar cookies. And maybe gingerbread. Thanks!! ❤
I have 2 vanilla extracts steeping in my pantry - one with bourbon and one with vodka. I also have coconut, orange, lemon, cinnamon, coffee, and cocoa nibs in separate jars with vodka. I also want to make mint and anise extracts before the end of August.
Thank you for all these wonderful ideas. And you can pop that little plastic pourer on top of handle bottle to pour much quicker. I don't have the patience to pour with them on...😂😂😂
Tennessee girl here roasting and dying in 80% humidity. The Nescafé Gold is what I use for coffee extract or homemade Kahlua. My husband, who is a German National, turned me onto the brand for cooking and the like.
I have bourbon and vodka vanilla now, which i made. I know how to make these, and I do, but I love to see how others do things too! They are great gifts!
Thank you so much for the great ideas! I've made vanilla extracts in the past for gifting but vanilla beans are quite pricey and it's very basic. I can't wait to make the lemon and orange ones because they will look gorgeous as a gift, especially with a homemade tea blend or simmer pot bag. This was super inspiring!
You've inspired me. I'm going to make hazelnut with bourban and shredded frozen butter with rum (then put in fridge for a few weeks then drain. I'll save that butter for baking too. I'll try the almond too but I heard almond extract is actually made with apricot pits (the inside nut like part)
I use either Everclear or "rott gut" vodka that I run thru a Britta filter a couple of times. You'd be surprised the difference it makes when you filter the vodka first.
I was going to say this too! Britta filter a couple times, and even harsh vodka smooths out. And medium/high grade vodka gets even better. Perfect for extracts and very easy to do.
I've never seen your videos before. I've been missing out. I love your casual manner. A little piece of Christmas style cloth over the lids and then tied with the tags would look really nice. I'm from the UK and will often do this with preserves that we gift. Now off to find more of your videos :-)
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa no specific one. Would love to see any. Some mixes are really expensive, but I’m sure I have most of the ingredients in my cupboard. Thank you for asking, it’s much appreciated.
@@JJR-373 Of course! WE have a few coming up but feel free to ask if you come across any specific ones. I have a ton up my sleeve just not enough time to film all day long. 🤪
@joannbradley8465 I kinda wing it. Just pit and stuff a ball jar with cherries. Pour your favorite bourbon over the cherries. Put in refrigerator wait for as early as 2 weeks or let them sit linger for a stronger taste. They will keep in the refrigerator unopened for a year. Let them sit. Because cherry season in in June and July, I make them now for Christmas.
There is a trick to making instant coffee and expresso. Mix it into cold milk with sugar and all with an immersion blender. Once blended add hot water. Perfect. If you like Nescafe try Cafe Bustelo. OMG delish. Nescafé is the only instant coffee I make and the expresso is Cafe Bustelo.
I always zest my citrus when making extracts. That way you only get the skin part and none of the pith. It also releases more of the oils in the skin which is where all the flavor is located.
These are great! I never thought about making all different kinds of extract - I only knew about Vanilla - so fun and I can't wait to make some. Thank you!
I was told that you need to keep the vanilla or whatever you are infusing with, covered with the alcohol, or it will mold or rot. I love the homemade vanilla, I will have to try the almond and cinnamon!❤❤❤
I started making my own vanilla extract 3 years ago. The recipe that was given to me told me that the extract had to sit for a year before I could use it. So every year I will make a crap load of vanilla extract just to have enough for the year. Thank you so much for your recipe as this is a game-changer for me. I do have a question, I would like to make hazelnut extract should I slice the hazelnuts or just put the hazelnut in whole?
I would chop the hazelnuts up first. Have you seen that some people use an instant pot to make extract so it’s ready right away? I haven’t tried it yet.
Wow! I can't believe it's that easy! If I have whole almonds would it work to rough chop in a food processor to make the almond extract? If not organic should I remove the skin? Thank you for this helpful video!
This is first video I’ve seen and love it! I bought vanilla beans last year and froze them (Hope still ok to use) and little glass jars. Will be making these for Christmas gifts snd trying all the flavors you made. Think of how much they charge is at the store for pure vanilla extract when it’s this easy to make amazing. Great video
Love this! I just 'discovered' your channel. I had just made vanilla extracts with Jameson Orange Whiskey, another with rum, and brandy. My herb group thought I had invented brain surgery! LOL I am passing on your channel to them so they can watch. Now going to watch your other videos.
Extracts are also called tinctures for us herbalists. Cranberry would be good for UTIs. Mint for tummy. And they are yummy. I make a clove one to use in my oil pulling for my teeth.
Years ago, during lockdowns, I found similar little milk bottles at Big Lots. I ordered them online & they were delivered to my front door. I was wondering what I would do with them, now I know. I will frequently buy something if the price is good even if I don't have a use for them yet... I'm thinking about using spiced rum to make some of the extracts.
First time to your channel. I took a pic of your stove and wasn't surprised when you called her by name!😅 It looks like you could bake wonderful bread in it.😊 I already started searching for a similar stove.😊
We love Pearl! She is old and can be a poop sometimes and burn things. We were very lucky and got her for super cheap on Facebook marketplace. She weighs a ton but she’s a little self conscious so we don’t talk about it in front of her 😂
I have a bottle of peach vodka. Do you think the peach vodka would work to make vanilla extract? Would it still be considered vanilla extract at that point? Anyone's response would be helpful, especially if you have actually used this flavored vodka before.
I would look to make sure it’s 80 proof. Some flavored ones tend to be lower. If it is I think that would be super yummy! I’d splash that in my peach cobbler or muffins.
These all sound amazing. I love different flavors of extracts when I bake my holiday cookies. I'll be making these to use for this holiday season. Do you date the tags so you know when they were made to keep track of how long they've been fermenting? Thanks so much for sharing.
I have recipes from 1800’s that a great, great, great grandmother made flavorings for income. The paper is very brown & crumbling. You’ve convinced me I need to get the recipes out and preserve them by re-writing them down or copying the pages.
Oh my goodness this is awesome. I love family history and antiques. You will have to at least frame it and put it in your home.
What a wonderful heritage she gave you! I would love to make all of them.
Would you like to share
I will be grateful forever
You should so create a You Tube page and share that Historical Tradition.
Take pictures and then mount the original on acid free paper
One of the extracts i make is clove. Just 2 ounces of whole dried cloves jn a 4oz mason jar with vodka. Its a great flavkring, but also works to slosh a small amount around in your mouth for minor irritations and discomfort while you wait for the dentist!
Good idea! Never would have thought of that one.
Would you tell us some of the recipes you use these extracts in? Specifically the cinnamon, mint and citrus extracts?
@janetbirky1626 - I will be honest, the clove is the least used. I put a few drops in tea and I use it in molasses cookies which are a favorite around here.
Mint and citrus are interchangeable with lemon and peppermint extract.
Thank you, that is a really good idea.
I live in the SW desert….every day during this time of year we get monsoon storms…..😂
If you have blueberry bushes slice up the lemons and oranges and place them underneath the soil your berries love the high acid soil and it’s all organic zero chemicals 👍🏼

I was planning to use Starbucks glass bottles but wanted something simple that anyone can get. Great idea!
@@LittleHillHomesteadGa I’ve actually used those Starbucks bottles! My neighbor drinks them so I asked her to save them for me. Free is even better!
Idea has reasonable jars
I repurpose jelly jars and spaghetti sauce jars. Some of them have measurements on them.
@@markishabunn4492 I love using those too! I really like the sauce jars for storing my fruit to keep it fresh longer.
I used freeze dried raspberry and strawberry to make extract last year. Worked well
I’ll have to give that a try. I have freeze dried strawberries I’m going to try to make syrup with.
I love this idea. A suggestion for tags is shrinky dink plastic. I made some plant tags with it and they are still going strong, 3 years later.
Love that idea! They could be colorful and fun.
Great idea!

I had no idea it was so pricy in other places. If food grade glycerine something you can get? It can be made with that as well.
And I was spacing out over 32$ for a half gallon.
My mint didn't survive the winter here. I was as stunned as you are because like you say, you can't kill mint.

I’ve been wanting a corn extract for keto almond flour cornbread
