Citrus Extracts
strips of any citrus fruits peels minus white pith- lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits or tangerines
Vodka
Place the strips in a jar, then cover them with a good-quality vodka. Cover the jar tightly and let it stand at room temperature for 2 weeks, shaking the jar daily.
Discard the peel, replace it with fresh peel, and let it stand for 2 weeks. Remove the peel, and use the flavored vodka when recipe calls for extract.
