about extracts

[Guest guest]

hi its just me androshi`

 

well i have just made 3 extracts for the future-

 

i made lemon-lime and strawberry extracts

 

i made this for cooking (lemon and lime)

 

and the strawberry for a skin astringent.

 

does anybody know how to make " almond extract " ?

 

can i just use almond oil and add vodka?

 

or do i have to buy almonds,roast them in my oven, then soak them in

alcohol?

 

is anybody else making extracts?

 

its new moon and maybe someone can give me some new ideas

as to what is good -for either cooking or medicinal?

 

im 4.997 extracts behind- i really wish i could make more!

 

all i have is 3! I DONT FEEL WORTHY!

 

oh yeah ps

 

1-DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT MYRTLE IS GOOD FOR?

2- WHAT IS WILD CRAFTING?

3-CAN I USE GIN INSTEAD OF VODKA OR EVERCLEAR FOR MY EXTRACTS?

IT LIKE 40% ALCOHOL-

4-DID ANYBODY MAKE HOMEMADE BRANDY? I HAVE HEARD OR BETTER YET READ

THAT IT IS WINE THAT HAS BEEN BOILED DOWN TO HALF ITS WEIGHT

THEN ADDED WATER ,THEN AGED- IS IT THIS SIMPLE?

 

ANDROSHI`SORRY FOR SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Androshi

I would love to know how you made the lemon lime

extract.

 

" ?

 

 

> 1-DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT MYRTLE IS GOOD FOR?

 

I can't awnser the first one but the awnser to the

second is collecting herbs were they grow wild and one

has to be real carfull that the area is not sprayed

with some chemical.

> 2- WHAT IS WILD CRAFTING?

 

Number three is yes we can use Gin and everclear if we

can get it. Infact most people pfrefer the Everclear.

hey pat

 

thanx for asking -do you like making stuff?

 

i hardly read about people making stuff here in this group-

its almost shocking.

 

ok well it was easy for me. take tree lemons and zest them

after that i put the zest in a mason jar

then i cut up the lemons and let them soak in the mason jar

 

then i liquified the whole thing and now it sits

i shake it every day-sometimes i go crazy and shake it while im

watching tv-i mean you really cant over do it.

 

now thats not the end of it.

 

what i had used is gin -and it goes well with citrus,but you

can use vodka if you want.

 

what i had done (just 5 minutes ago) is make heavy syrup

 

to make heavy syrup is easy -all it is -is water and sugar

i put one cup of water with 2 and maybe a half cups of syrup.

 

it will not look heavy while its hot and dont touch it because i have

burned my hand a little trying to bottle it.

 

you can use corn syrup or honey if you want but i didnt have any.

 

<<<<<a note on honey>>>> some people are alergic to it and never

give a baby honey! if they cant speak they cant tell you they are

having a reaction- i personaly love it.but better safe than sorry.

 

and the reason why i made it is because it adds more of a flavor to

the extract -if your using it for cooking.

 

as soon as you start zesting the fruit the aroma is unbelievable

i have one lemon extract-one lime extract -one lemon and lime

extract (kinda like sprite beverage)and strawbery extract

 

soon i will buy apricots,orange,plum,pear and the list goes on.

 

anything that has a flavor can be extracted with alcohol

even banana -

 

so good luck-the only problem you will probaby face is " bottles "

 

you will need a mason jar -or wide jars for the extracting-

 

then shake it for a few weeks- i had put mine through my blender

 

to give me a good healthy start.

 

then you will need a sieve or a really good mesh colander-

 

if you go to the .99 cents store they have cloth- really nice

 

and a nice bottle for the end result.

 

think of brown bottles they always use them -companies like

McCormick or any spice company -always use brown bottles.

 

you could buy brandy if you want-use that as the alcoholic base

and then re use the bottle for your finished product.

 

PS- if you dont want to use the fruit of the citrus,the zest is

very powerful-enogh for cooking.

im sorry pat but i made a typo in my last post

 

 

 

{to make heavy syrup is easy -all it is -is water and sugar}

{i put one cup of water with 2 and maybe a half cups of sugar.}

 

 

that was supposed to read " SUGAR " instead of syrup -sorry

 

and after looking at my syrup right now i think you should use

 

more sugar -because i didnt get the thickness i wanted-

 

im gonna go back and try one more cup and see if it get thicker-

 

it doesnt really matter as far as taste is concerned

 

its not thin like water -but its not like maple syrup either

 

ill let you know how it came out

I make tintures all the time I never thought of

extracts. They seam to be made the same you put

something good in a jar and add alcohol of choice and

shake everyday for at the least 14 days.

How do you make the soft fruit ones? I can see making

them but then you have to strain them and I would

think that would be hard because it would all be a

mush.

I do a lot of wild crafting on my land it was a

positivly raw quarter when we bought it and grows all

kinds of lovely wild herbs and one very poisones one.

I am going to make some extracts.
