Ingredients - Preparation Method:

***** NONE ***** Vanilla Extract: Vanilla Bean Vodka It is best to use a brown-glass bottle to prepare vanilla extract. You can purchase one from your pharmacy if you don't have one on hand that you can recycle. Cut the vanilla bean into several long pieces that will fit into the bottle. Fill the bottle with wodka. Allow it to steep for 4 weeks, shaking from time to time. After you have used about a quarter of the bottle, add enough additional vodka to fill the bottle again. Lemon/Orange/Lime Extract: Lemons (or oranges or limes) Vodka Use well-colored fruit and remove strips of the zest. You will probably be happier using a wider mouthed bottle to make citrus extracts. Put the zest in the bottle (until it is about one-third filled with zest) then fill the bottle with vodka. Allow it to steep for 2 weeks, shaking from time to time. This extract can not be replenished in the way you can vanilla extract so after 2 weeks, pour the extract through a fine sieve into a brown-glass bottle and discard the zest. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
