I used ube extract to make ube crinkle cookies. The color is a beautiful purple color and the flavor is kinda like vanilla.

I love almond extract. Just a tiny amount goes a long way - its strong! Whatever you buy, make sure its the real thing and not imitation flavors.

Most almond extracts are made from the pits of peaches, cherries, or apricots (also called bitter almond). Some contain some almond oil added in.

I will be trying mine with bitter almond .

Strangely enough, my son used to always say it smelled like cherries not almonds and I would tell him he was imagining it lol.

I also love lemon extract for baking but haven’t made my own yet .

I had no idea! Fascinating! Is there almond in it?

King Arthur Flour has a Fiori di Sicilia that is very popular. It's a orange, lemon and vanilla combo and so good.
But use sparingly; a little goes a long way.

Penseys has an excellent orange extract.

Lavender extract in Earl Gray tea and a few baked goods. Just a very tiny amount.

Even vanilla?

Orange extract in hot chocolate daily

I use lemon to up the lemon punch in baked goods. I’ve used peppermint around the holidays for double chocolate chip mint cookies and brownies.

I use Watkins banana extract in my banana bread, delish.

Lorann oils are good.

Hi. I love baking and I am always looking for extracts and flavorings besides vanilla.

I invest money in a new extract only to find that it doesn’t taste like what it’s supposed to or is just not good.

Can anyone recommend brands and flavors they like using?
