Dump the whole almond works into a food processor or blender an give it short bursts to chop the almonds up a tad and replace the mixture back in the jar to extract a bit longer. More surface area equals more area to extract from.

Pulled out the the grapefruit and baby, both of them are great. My coffee is better with the vodka. Thank for the reminder. I made my labels out of Avery address labels.. You can customize them using the computer with the printer. The stay on even when I use them with infused oils. Yes , the vanilla and raspberry prices have gone through the roof.

Try using a garden marker to keep the labels legible. I've seemingly replaced permanent markers with garden markers in my house... Even on my canning lids.

[@katemill3632]

Well the alcohol burns off in the baking, I can see making a small amount with vegetable glycerin for non baking purposes like making coffee drinks. I switched to rum in my extracts. Please note after 3 months of storage you will have gotten your full strength of extract with alcohol, you need about 9 months with glycerin. I learned this the hard way, I have stored up to two years on the vanilla, and the three month and the 2 year tasted the same. I use extracts for baking primarily so I will stick to decanting after three months. I do not use my beans over I start with fresh vanilla beans.

[@gracewaterfarm2023]

Don't throw away your beans after extracting! You can use them to make vanilla sugar! Or salt.

[@cbryce9243]

So, do you just fill a jar with the alcohol and put in your product (lemon vanilla etc.)? I've never done it so I have not a clue. What are the mesurements?

Way to go! Your extracts are great! You can make medicinal tinctures in the same manner by making extracts of herbs and spices. Clove, cinnamon, fennel, mullein, echinacea, Joe Pye root, elderberry~~you name it! Then, you have natural medicines on hand. I haven't used glycerin for making extracts/tinctures so I don't have the method on the top of my head, but the methods are all over the internet and it's easy. I will say that I always dry, or at leas wilt "green" herbs (flowers, leaves, etc.) before making extracts so you don't end up with mold from the water content. Love your channel! God bless you.

Vegetable Glycerin IS an alcohol. Glycerin is a sugar alcohol derived from animal products, plants or petroleum. Only difference being that the alcohol from glycerin does NOT burn off in cooking or baking (it burns off at 554°F), Whereas standard drinking alcohols DO burn off in cooking or baking (as they burn off at 172°F).

@@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa - glycerin alcohol doesn't break down in cooking or baking - thus causing the same liver damage as drinking alcohols. That's why commercial extracts use drinking type alcohols for making extracts. That type DOES break down in the cooking or baking process, so no intoxication nor potential liver damage. "Revenuers" won't know if you're doing it for your own use - as long as you're making it in your own home and not selling it nor giving it away to anyone.
