Homemade Mint Extract
Learn how to make homemade mint extract - it's simple to make and a cost effective alternative to buying expensive bottles in store.
Ingredients
- 1 C fresh mint
- 1.25 C vodka
Instructions
- Wash mint and pat dry so there is no water on it.
- Slightly break/crush/chop mint leaves and add them to a jar. Pour vodka over the mint and place lid on jar. It is important that the leaves stay submerged.
- Place in a dark area and shake it every few days over the next four weeks.
- After four weeks strain the leaves off and pour the liquid into small bottles.
Notes
- You can add the leaves to small bottles like pictured however they are harder to get the leaves out when it comes time to strain it.
- If you want your extract even stronger, you can change out the mint each week and keep using the same vodka.
