So Many Ideas, So Little Time.

By mikkifine

It is not always easy finding the candles I like. This is the reason I like flavored extracts.

I can just add a few drops of extract to a plain candle and wala. A scented candle.

I was reading a bit on how to make extracts. Best to use a large piece(grapefruit seed + pulp, pepperming,etc) of whatever flavor you wish. In order to extract the flavor I will need to soak in vodka or rum in a jar. Store for a few days in a dark place.

Once that is complete pour extracts in dark bottles.

Now I was thinking perhaps I could multi task. After I put together these extracts perhaps I should reward myself with a martini.

I normally fancy a dirty martini. But then again I might want to experiment with other types of martini recipes. LOL!

    I am making vanilla extract. I have the vanilla bean but keep drinking the vodka! Ooops!

    See that is what I am concerned about. I don’t need to be drinking the hard stuff. LOL!

    I have read that you can use rum rather than vodka. I could invite a few ladies over and we could make strawberry daqueries(sp?).
