HOMEMADE DIY EXTRACTS #drink #cocktail #homemade #sangria #lemonade

Custom made concentrates are anything but difficult to make and are incredible for gifting. I'm sharing how to make removes in an assortment of flavors just as how to bundle them for charming blessings.

A year ago, I shared my first cluster of natively constructed extricates which I made as occasion blessings. This year, I added some different flavors to my line-up and furthermore made wax seals for the jugs.

I made vanilla, mint, lemon, lime and orange concentrates. The wax seals were a great touch however it took a couple of attempts to get that one long dribble that runs down the edge of the container. Fortunately, on the off chance that you don't care for your seal, you can sever the wax and attempt once more.

The concentrates are anything but difficult to make. Essentially, you simply add whatever flavor you need to vodka and afterward let it sit for half a month so the flavor creates. In this way, in the event that you need to make these for occasion blessings you should make them about a month ahead of time.

INGREDIENTS

VANILLA EXTRACT

3-4 vanilla beans split beans in half, lengthwise, so that the inside content is completely exposed
8 oz vodka

LEMON/ORANGE/LIME EXTRACT

2 large lemons, oranges, or limes
8 oz vodka

MINT EXTRACT

1 cup mint stems removed
8 oz vodka

INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO MAKE THE EXTRACTS

For vanilla extract, add vanilla beans and vodka into a large sterilized canning jar. Tightly close lid, then shake a few times. Keep in a dark, cool place. Shake every few days. Let sit for about 4 weeks before using. The extract will turn a dark brown (browner than in the photos, which I poured out prematurely). Once extract is ready, you can pour into small bottles with a funnel for gifting. You can add half of a fresh vanilla bean inside each for decoration.
For lemon extract, carefully peel off the skin of two clean lemons. Add lemon skin and vodka into a sterilized canning jar. Tightly close lid, then shake a few times. Keep in a dark, cool place. Shake every few days. Let sit for about 4 weeks before using. The peels will eventually brown. Remove peels after extract is ready. When the extract is ready, you can pour into small bottles with a funnel for gifting. You can add a few fresh lemon peels for decoration but advise your gift receivers to remove the peels once they brown. For orange or lime extract, repeat this same step except replacing lemons with oranges or limes.
For mint extract, add leaves and vodka to a sterilized canning jar. Lightly crush leaves while in the jar, to release the oils. Seal jar and shake. Keep in a dark, cool place. Shake every few days. Let sit for about 4 weeks before using. The extract will turn a light green/brown (darker than in the photos, which I poured out prematurely). Remove mint leaves when the extract is ready. When the extract is ready, you can pour into small bottles with a funnel for gifting. You can add a few fresh mint leaves for decoration but advise your gift receiver to remove them once they brown.
For all extracts, store in a dark, cool place.
