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 ;)

Last I looked, at Costco here in California a 16 oz. bottle of Vanilla Extract is going for $30.00 Think I’ll try this.
@kimberlyrobinson39925 жыл бұрын
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.

check out "infused oils" basically, its pouring hot oil, any kind, over herbs, spices, fruits, vegetables, or any flavor you wish to use, then you let it steep for a bit, strain it and bottle it for later use. you can use cold oil, but it will take a bit longer for the flavors to seep into it

Forage Forage I was told that after straining the vanilla after 6 weeks that you can leave in the vanilla beans for a second ferment, using new alcohol of course. The second ferment will take much much longer but you’re getting more bang for the buck. Be sure to shake the bottle every day if possible.

@iamdanieloliveira4 жыл бұрын
Banana peels don't have quite the same taste as the banana itself, and if the banana is not completely ripe they'll leave an unpleasant astringent taste. I'd try using a very ripe, almost black banana, but I'm pretty sure it's not gonna work as well as the flavors in the video.

Vanilla beans are so expensive becuz there was a fire in Madagascar and it took out most of the vanilla crops That’s why I buy Mexican Vanilla- it’s Cheap and very good. There’s no reason to pay that much money for one ingredient And there’s is always usually a variant

You can always use a chopstick to push the leaves deeper into the bottle and to crush the leaves a little to release the natural oils.
