Homemade Lemon Extract Recipe

Thursday, July 16, 2015
Pure lemon extract is made from the essential oil of fresh lemons combined with alcohol as a preservative.

It's extremely potent, so a little goes a long way to be used in cakes, cookies and anything else when a recipe calls for lemon extract in it.

Our easy homemade lemon extract can be used to add lemon flavors to baked foods and other desserts, such as breads, cakes, cookies, muffins, pies, frostings, glazes, custards, sorbet, sauces, yogurt, and mousse.
