Instructions

- Break Cinnamon sticks into several pieces.
- Crack whole nutmeg with mortar and pestle.

This recipe is ready in 6-12 mos. Depending on your liking. Once the extract is finished, you could ground up the spices and use it as a holiday spice blend and add it to your holiday baking.
When my time is upn… what do I do next..what do I do with all the spices in the jar…do I dry them and ground them and do I use the liquid for my spices in the recipes I use
When will this be ready? I don’t see the time frame.
I love Pumpkin Spice Coffee and can’t wait until mine is ready to use. I can also use this in my pumpkin spice bars w/cream cheese frosting. Oh so many treats…
This sounds amazing, but I’m wondering what you would use it in?
Was looking for this exact recipe! Can’t wait to get started.
I so thankful that I found you guys, I’m so excited to see all these recipes for all these yummy extracts which I cannot wait to make for myself and give as presents to my loved ones.
This sounds fantastic and I’ll be starting a batch for next year. If I may, I’d suggest that you put a link to make your recipes savable. Like a changeable PDF format or something. Thanks for all of the info you have on your site.
This sounds amazing. I wish I could have some ready for this fall, but I will be making some for next year when my order arrives. 👏
