Okay, so I haven't exactly tried this yet... And I promise to post more when I actually do, but I'm suddenly in love with the idea of making various extracts. Gonna try vanilla and lemon first, and then really the sky's the limit... At least if you can find a use for them (not sure how useful borage extract would be - hmmm unless you make your own cough drops...)
Anyway, using this recipe as a baseline

I'm gonna get some alcohol and jars and see what happens!
Some of the extracts we brainstormed:
ReplyDeleteLemon lime
Mint
Lemon
Lavender
Vanilla
Orange
Lemon balm
Also a place to get bottles

I bet the borage one would be really pretty and full of omega 3's!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we could do cherry using fresh cherries?
