Strawberries are officially in season and what better way to take advantage of this than by making some fresh strawberry extract? Strawberry extract will be the perfect addition to desserts, fruit salads, and to some ice-cold drinks and smoothies this summer to cool off!
Ingredients:
- 8oz fresh strawberries
- 8oz Everclear 195%
Instructions
- Rinse and pat dry strawberries.
- Remove the stems and discard.
