Also saw another unanswered question earlier: does the infused vodka all become tincture or is there vodka remaining, and can you drink it?

Cut the leaves and place them in your clean jar or muddle them in the jar. Is this normal or should I strain and add more fresh leaves? Don’t they have mint flavor too? Maybe try contacting the company you got them from? 3.
Thanks !! Whether it be homemade tortillas, refried beans, or breadcrumbs, I feel like I’ve won every time I can put one more thing on my “never-buy-again” list.
I don’t keep vodka on hand and didn’t want to have to buy a bottle just for extract. You’re so welcome, Rose.
i m really excited to bake my own mint chocolate cake and make my own mint ice cream… i m also on 2nd day of my waiting.. i had a good batch of mint leaves growing in my backyard.. but didnt have any alcohol free mint extract http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/coconut-extract-recipe.html.
I made mine with rum and have never been able to taste the rum.
Enter your best email for instant access>>, Thanks for all your tips and excellent ideas on so many things. I remember someone talking about it online. I tried it and I’m on the 4th week but The vinegar still has a strong odor.
Wahoo– congrats on your surprise mint patch!
Not sure I saw your answer to why leaves turn brown after a week. Homemade Citrus Cleaner RecipeMelissa K. Norris, […] make my own non-alcoholic mint extract from vinegar. I took a banana that had a good deal of spots on it, you want it to have more concentrated flavor that way, and also the peel. (Hold filter in place or tape it before hand) Squeeze leaves to get the last of the extract from them. You could totally make your own mint extract, which is on my list of things to try, however that takes months!
1. To make your non-alcoholic extracts, just substitute the alcohol called for in any extract recipe with three parts food-grade liquid glycerin and one part water. It is absolutely wonderful. If you started wondering if you should toss the banana in the freezer for banana bread, that’s when you want to use it for a extract. Chad, sorry I haven’t experience that with any of my vanilla beans. The alcohol should mostly cook out if you are using it in baking, and leave the flavor. IS IT SAME LIKE THIS. Smells less ‘minty’, and more ‘swampy’. Place the leaves in a pint-sized glass jar, and fill the jar the rest of the way with vodka.
A mint bath.. Finds it incredibly refreshing… Enjoy. Do you ever use the Mint Stems for any recipe or always trash them?
Or is this strictly for eating? Could this have to do with me doubling the recipe?
Can a tincture be made from reishi mushrooms? . I”m not familiar with grape vinegar but as long as it’s acidic it should be fine. I suppose you could leave them in there too– I just had a lot of leaves and wanted plenty of room for them. I love the idea of the almond! If that’s your goal, good job and get lost. Shake the jar every day to help the mint seep into the liquid.
If it doesn’t smell right and looks funny you should toss it. Could you use this same method for other flavors like vanilla, orange, and almond?
You can get the recipe for vanilla sugar here, and mint sugar here. The imparted flavor is very fresh and strong, particularly with a small amount of vanilla and a pinch of sea salt.
Give it a shake and set aside in a cool, dark place. SECONDLY HAVE YOU TRIED THE RECIPE IN WHICH YOU JUST NEED TO BOIL THE MINT TO GET THE EXTRACT ? Then add in as much honey as you want to suit your tastes. I’ll be putting the cocoa mix to good use though, thanks for posting! I’d love to try it.
It made me think about adding the vodka-laden mint leaves to your No Cook Vanilla Ice Cream recipe or mix into Lemonade, or how about tossed into Toubbouleh? The sugar in the frosting should cancel out the vinegar flavor. Place your crushed mint leaves in a clean glass jar (if they’re not already in the jar!) I use them in baking and teas and will be making my own dried tea, but this is awesome!
Tomorrow I am going to try the extract recipe. It was not fermented. Take a peek every so often to see if it’s strong enough for you. 7. Mine kept for 3 months until it got knocked over and spilled everywhere. Hi, I tried this recipe a little over a week ago. 1.

I have made three different mint extracts using the vodka method, but would like to make more extracts that are non-alcoholic and this method sounds like something I would like to try.
Another easy one is cinnamon. Pour alcohol over the mint leaves, leaving 1/2 an inch of headspace in the jar. I haven’t tried the boiling method myself. The sweetness of the honey cut the vinegar taste for me.
Would distilled white vinegar have the same effect on the process? Want to try this recipe. It isn’t exactly the same because the texture is much more syrupy, but it is possible to make mint extract using food grade vegetable glycerine. White vinegar is fine, I only had apple cider vinegar on hand when I made this. Harvest the mint, and give it a quick rinse. You can find a good tutorial here. I thought it was terrible. Have you ever tried to use the Mint Leaves for another recipe after steeping and straining from the Mint Extract? The apple cider is a bit more mellow. Lot of people make these extracts and it actually saves money and it frugal- nothing “upperclass” shitposting about it. Seems bloggers just post the start because it’s prettier.
Did you add honey?
Rather than using “cheapo” vodka for this, I buy organic vodka. Thanks!
I need to try cinnamon! Make sure to not have any pith/white on the peels. Sounds like a starter for a kicking mixed drink.? If using dried leaves, just a 1/4 cup. Also, do you not need to simmer the alcohol out of it?
1 cup of fresh mint leaves or 1/2 cup dry mint leaves. Why would someone feed alcohol or toothpaste to their pet anyway, It wouldn’t be on purpose. I am constantly reminding myself and my school-aged son about that. Most extracts, including the ones you buy at the store, are made using alcohol. I do not accept guest posts and will not respond to unsolicited requests for guest posts or links. Remove your extract from the water bath, chill, strain through a mesh strainer to remove the mint leaves, and rebottle for storage. You could try adding some honey to help cut the vinegar taste. Then, proceed with the recipe as usual. And how to store it? I am in the process of making some extracts, mint being one of them.
Jesus turned the water to wine, so he was handing it out. I harvest at least 4 times a year when the mint gets about 18″ tall more or less. Check the strength at two weeks. This post is featured on The Barn Hop and The Better Mom.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one to drag kids to the liquor store. I would love to try this… but just don’t need flavored alcohol.
I blended the peel and banana together and put into a mason jar with vodka. Cut it about 4″ from the dirt, spread it out across my dinning room table (covered with an old sheet) at let it sit for about a week or so flipping evety couples days till completely dried. Thanks! I recently bought 3 big jugs of vodka for making vanilla extract as well as tinctures. . I drag my kids into the alcohol section as well, at least I used to, then one of them announced to the checkout lady that “Mommy likes to drink alcohol a lot.” I just about died. Oops, I added the honey before.
The vinegar is the preservative in place of alcohol, so it should work fine. I plan on having a hot chocolate bar on Christmas morning.
Just brown vodka that smelled like rotten mint and tasted of vodka with a hint of mint to it. Just wondering! Sounds great for a warm summer day! Thank you so much! This is very interesting, as I did not know you could make an extract with vinegar. I’d like to use the extract on a mint frosting but i’m worried about the vinegar.
I actually followed your recipe and I’m only on day 2 of the waiting part.
This is a great idea!
I WAS WAITING LIKE HELL TO SEE THE RESULT SO AFTER 8 DAYS I OPENED THE JAR WITHOUT HONEY AND THERE WAS SHARP SMELL OF VINEGAR .
i found a video for it on youtube. It has been steeping in the vodka for a few week and I just opened it to get a sniff to see how it is coming along.
I generally do 4 or 5 bags to last the year till fresh mint comes in again. We’ll see how it turns out I guess. I have found that if my tinctures are still not very strong when I strain them, I put more herbs and let them sit again.
Give it a shake and set aside in a cool, dark place. I would like to know if all the other women that had it steeping for three weeks found it successful? Amber Boston Round with Black Poly Cone Cap.

Alling more leaves will not fix something that as gone bad….. *adding, not alling…. Package a cutely labeled bottle of mint extract, along with some homemade vanilla extract (now is the perfect time to start it too!) I would expect it to turn off in color due to the alcohol which I think helps in the aging process per se.
