I have been wanting to try making homemade extracts for a while now. I go through extracts like crazy and it would be nice to have larger bottles of it. The first extract on my list to make is lavender. Lavender smells heavenly and has a few health benefits too. I want to incorporate lavender into some of my baking and having an extract is the perfect way to do so. Stay tuned for some lavender flavored desserts coming your way soon!
Extracts take a little time to "age", depending on what flavor you are making the time varies. Lavender extract takes about 8 days where a vanilla extract takes about 4 weeks. My lavender extract is on day two. Once it is finished I will post the process of how to make the extract!
Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI've never used lavender extract before. Interesting! Also, we go through vanilla like crazy so I might want to make some of our own!
