Homemade Extracts

In order to do this mostly correct in my view .. . . it requires some things to be hand made.

Like I tipped on in the post about choclate syrup. . .we used homemade not store bought vanilla extract so thats kinda what this is about. . .

I did things in a smaller conversion because its experimental at first then we perfect as we go on.

I went to a local bar/casino and bought the smallest possible $6.00 bottle of vodka.

I used 2 4oz mason jars with 2 full vanilla beans each and cut them in half then open to help release the vanilla bean flavor then filled both jars to the top with this vodka we got then sealed the jars.

I had enough vodka left so I took 3 full cinnamon sticks and Dev broke them into small enough whole peices(not crushed) to fit into my 4 oz jar then filled that jar with vodka and sealed it as well.

In 4 to 6 months all of them should be finished and ready to strain and jar into micro jars for storage.

My only fear in this little experiment is that the cinamon extract is gonna be ridiculously hot but I will figure out a way to tone it down when the time comes to open them up.

I will post regular updates about these jars to keep you all in the loop on this experiment.

Wish us luck on this one!!
