Orange Extract
7-10 Navel Oranges
16 ounces Vodka (80 proof)
Jar with a tight sealing lid
Lemon Extract
6 large lemons
16 ounces Vodka (80 proof)
Jar with a tight sealing lid
Directions:
Begin by peeling the rind off of the citrus. Carefully slice off any white flesh from the peels as these will be very bitter. Place rinds into the jar and cover with vodka. Tightly seal the jar and shake.
For hands-off:
Gently shake the mixture daily for 3-6 months. The longer the mixture sits, the more infused the vodka will be.
Instant Pot Method:
Place an approved trivet into the bottom of your Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water. Gently place jars into Instant Pot.
Using the manual setting, adjust to high pressure for 30 minutes.
Allow Instant Pot to sit for a full natural release.
Remove the lid and allow jars to sit in pot for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove jars and place on a kitchen towel. Do not place jars on the kitchen counter as they could break!
Allow jars to come to complete room temperature, approximately 24 hours.
