A touch of coconut extract in the frosting on a chocolate cake? Yum! If you do a lot of baking or cooking, you'll use a lot of extracts. Homemade extracts are easy to make, great for gifting, inexpensive, and don't contain creepy ingredients like their supermarket cousins. The shelf life of these extracts is almost indefinite.
