hi dr paul heater master earliest here today um i want to make an extract you know you know about vanilla extract and you know these different extracts that you can buy lemon extract and that type of thing but how do you make that and well it's extremely simple there's no ain't no magic to it at all today i have a big bag of linen flower then leaves and stems and i buy that by the pound and uh i want to make an extract of linden flowers a lot of people make tea and i make tea with it also very soothing relaxing helps with stress lowers blood pressure an amazing thing but you can make an extract of just about anything you know one person in particular asking about making stevia extract well this is one way you can do it just get a big jar it's clean and fill it about three quarters of the way full with whatever you're going to be making extract out of maybe cinnamon it could be you know it could be hops it could be just about anything stevia uh no homby it could be anything really and then fill it up with with vodka don't drink it uh fill it up with a bucket and then put on the lid like that and open the fridge put it in the fridge and let it set for 36 48 hours maybe a little longer depending on the hardness of the herb itself you know something like leaves and flowers like this it doesn't take too long about 36 hours and then take it out put it through a sieve and you know they get all the big chunks out of there and that way you get everything out of there and uh and then you have a clear liquid or it could have a dark tint to it and you could put it in dropper bottles and use it and label it accordingly and use it for whenever you need and extract a particular herb it couldn't be simpler i've also done this with lemons to take lemons and peel them and just take the zest you know they that yellow area off of meyer lemons or any kind of lemons really it doesn't really matter and take those lemons and and get a whole bunch of lemon zest in here and then i pour in vodka and make my own lemon extract which is really great i used in a lot of different cooking things that i do and a vanilla would be easy to do also but vanilla vanilla beans are very expensive um but you can buy vanilla beans online and fill this jar up with vanilla beans pour in your vodka you make your own wonderful i have to say wonderful vanilla extract it really is good cinnamon extract you know take some cinnamon sticks and break them up put them in here i also buy them and little quarter inch chips and put them in the jar and pour on the vodka put it in the fridge for 36 hours and you end up with a nice cinnamon extract you could even make lots of different things even tea extracts and moringa extracts and just about anything that you can think of you can make an extract out of and it will keep a long time because you know vodka kills just about every bacteria out there so uh and it's an alcohol so allow yourself to make a few extracts it's simple easy quick you know vodka is pretty inexpensive it doesn't have to be a you know a really expensive one because it's just doing the job of extracting out the nutrients or actually the agents within the herb itself and does a great job so don't think there's any special magic to making extracts it's very simple big jar vodka three quarters full with herbs and put it in the fridge 36 48 hours and you got an extract but if there is a sieve and a strainer yeah bottle it up and it'll last you a long time here's to your good health i love you
