Well, it’s back to reality again after a fun weekend camping in the Adirondacks. \u00a0Today I made a “must-have” for your kitchen – especially if you enjoy cooking. \u00a0 My mom has shown you how to DIY your own vanilla extract<\/a>. \u00a0I have some in my cabinet which will be ready any day now! \u00a0I just learned you can also make your own lemon extract. \u00a0Anything lemon tastes especially good in the summer, and this easy extract will enhance the flavors even more.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Lemon\"<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You only need a of couple ingredients for this extract: \u00a01. vodka (I used the cheap stuff I had left over from making my vanilla) \u00a02. a large lemon, 3. a grater, and 4. a jar. \u00a0That’s it!!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Lemon<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I am showing two lemons here, but I ended up just using one since they were pretty large.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Lemon<\/p>\n

This is all you need to do: \u00a0Wash and clean the outside of your lemon and start grating. \u00a0Try not to get much of the white part because it tastes bitter.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Lemon<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

It smelled so good. \u00a0After grating the lemon, I was in the mood for lemonade and lemon bars, but \u00a0I settled for strawberries because that what was on hand.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Lemon<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Pour about a cup of vodka into a jar and add the lemon peels. \u00a0Screw the lid on tight and give it a shake. \u00a0Store in a cool dark place for at least two weeks. \u00a0Shake the jar at least once a week. \u00a0Then after the two-week period is up, \u00a0strain the lemon peel and transfer it to a brown bottle. \u00a0The brown will help prevent evaporation. \u00a0Voila- DIY Lemon Extract.<\/h3>\n
