DIY MINT EXTRACT RECIPE
Steps:
- Harvest the mint, and give it a quick rinse. Pat dry.
- Remove the leaves from the stems, and discard the stems.
- Crush and smash the leaves in your hands-this will help to release some of the oils and give the process a jump start.
- Place the leaves in a pint-sized glass jar, and fill the jar the rest of the way with vodka.
- Give it a shake and set aside in a cool, dark place.
- Allow the mixture to steep for one to two months. Take a peek every so often to see if it's strong enough for you.
- Strain the leaves, and bottle the finished extract in cute little jars.

Steps:
- Pick your mint leaves in the morning when they have the highest concentration of oils in leaves. Rinse and pat dry.Discard any burnt or damaged-looking leaves. Strip the leaves from the stem. Roll the leaves up between your fingers so they're good and bruised. Or you can roughly chop them.Put leaves inside of your glass jar. Fill jar with vodka so mint leaves are submerged in the alcohol. Place lid on jar and give it a good shake.Place jar in a cupboard or out of direct light, but somewhere you'll remember to shake it every few days. Let mint leaves steep for at least 6 weeks. You can allow it to steep longer for a stronger flavored extract.When mint extract has reached its desired strength, strain liquid through a sieve into a glass container.
