Orange Extract
Making your own flavorings is so easy, whether it's making an extract or simple syrup. I've always wanted a pantry filled with homemade goodies, it's a great money saver and it makes your kitchen look like a gourmet wonderland.
Making extracts involves some kind of alcohol usually Vodka, Brandy or Rum, which gives a much longer shelf life. For my Orange Extract I'm using Vodka.
Zest of 2 large oranges (a simple grater works as a great zester)
3/4 cup vodka
1/4 cup water
1 tightly covered bottle or jar
Zest the oranges and add to clean bottle, then add the vodka and water. Cover and fasten bottle and give it a good shake and let sit for at least one week before opening.
