HOW TO MAKE LEMON EXTRACT 

Connie D Welcome :D

It looses the alcohol by the end time. And no not all extracts are made with alcohol. Some water n glycerin or propelyne glycol

Yes he gave his child lemon flavored alcohol aka lemon extract if and only when it is baked into foods that’s when the alcohol is evaporated and the flavor is left behind.

@@ladyvessel8197 Propylene glycol is extremely toxic and cannot be metabolized, super bad for your health even in small amounts. It seems to be in every lotion and lots of foods, so I avoid them. It is essentially antifreeze. The alcohol is a preservative and does not dissipate all the way out during cooking unless it is lit fully on fire, and only foods lit on fire such as “flaming deserts” cook out all the way. It’s an old wives’ tale that the alcohol cooks out in recipes that are simply baked , boiled or steamed, as about 2/3 of it remains, which for me would be a concern in recipes where a large amount of alcohol is added. A tsp of extract isn’t a concern at such a small amount. I’m not sure if glycerine has issues but I know that glycerine in the mouth prevents your teeth from absorbing the minerals in foods they need for strength and hardness, so using it in custom made toothpastes is s problem, and I do make my own. For people who don’t want to use any of these three things for cooking extracts, you can also put these essential oils, like the lemon zest, directly in sugar and let it sit for a few months, shaking it once in awhile. Maybe 1-2 drops food grade essential oils in a cup or two of sugar might work, too, but they are not ingestible at a high concentration so you’d have to know what you are doing. I know that people make vanilla sugar by putting a vanilla bean directly into a couple of cups of sugar and shake it every few days. Spices and essential oils are considered an “isolate” unless made with their other whole food components intact. The other components make them safest to ingest and slows down the amount of essential oil you eat, especially if the fiber and enzymes are intact and present. As isolates though, an essential oil all alone, extreme moderation is needed, and a tsp of liquid extract in a whole recipe means there is only about 1/10-1/20 of a drop of the essential oil in the whole recipe which is usually 6-10 servings on average. That’s usually fine for most people.

So true!

try greek tsipouro without glycaniso

JAHurley41 aw... I thought it would :( pmsl. some people seriously believe that amount will get them all drunk. *shakes head*

JAHurley41 top of that all the alcohol be cook out people just don't understand how stuff work.

JAHurley41 lightweights

JAHurley41 People always have sumthin to say with extracts, coz it has a TINY bit of alcohol, it's smaller than tiny , I see it all the time on any cooking thing. It always makes me laugh.

Some religions don't allow alcohol, some people prefer not to drink, some can even be allergic to alcohol. It's more common for people to find alcohol replacements now than before, even with the big health kicks and people stop drinking altogether, even in food.

Bertie Lynch Thanks :D

Or lack a nose.

And dont realize that the alcohol cooks off when baking

Or have a visual impairment. Fortunately, now I have a magnifying glass on my android. My glasses don't read microscopic. I have to use it when getting names off cosmetics (tiny label at bottom).

Some contain propylene glycol, which is terrible stuff, basically antifreeze.

Rumor has it that to this day that child is still drunk

@@pretentiousred6159 I heard shes just getting over the hangover now

They used to rub alcohol on their gums when teething also. All things in moderation, using common sense. We made hot toddies for my friends sick son when he was 12. Sipping slowly, it helped cure his sore throat.

Poifix Thanks :D

TNT craft Ray :D

angelofdeathstyle Maybe :D

I think vodka is used because it takes on the other flavor

Not at all! It will just mess whole the process up... To make extracts you need to let it soak it worka the same as like wines! Just don't do it and wait :3 patience my son

the special human Yeah I kind of figured that was the case. Oh well, thanks for the reply.

Kampf Zwerg Maybe :D
