How to Make Homemade Mint Extract

Making this homemade mint extract is a lot like my sweet tea vodka. I got the idea from the ladies at mylittlehomestead. I love those guys

Our family has had an over abundance of mint growing this year. Finally, we decided to do something about it & looked up how to make mint extract. Your video popped up & we put our mint making hats on. To our surprise, you have so kindly reminded us that we do indeed know how to make this lol We are so honored & appreciative of all the kind words. We hope your mint has been growing marvelously! God bless!

It's a good problem to have when mint takes over your yard because it is a motivation to cut your grass so you can get a good sniff of your mint. And keep spiders away. HAPPY HARVEST EVERYONE

I planted chocolate mint in my front flower garden years ago. I thought I pulled it all out but my neighbor still smells that chocolate mint everytime he mows the grass😁. We moved from there 3 years ago.

i was thinking it was mint essential oil extract, but turned out to be mint alcoholic drink

Cute video! I just made some of this today! Along with some vanilla extract, which is also super easy to make, and sooo much cheaper then buying from the store. But yes... I still love watching the " how to video's " anyway! LOL ;) Making things fresh from home, is very rewarding and satisfying. :D ♥

I actually let it spread and take over my yard and garden and have very little bug issues.. I don't grow with pesticides.. All my stuff pesticide free, antifungal free (cause plants need to build their own antifungal defenses for our benefit) and use partner planting and am GMO free..

Using 100 proof vodka is the best 50% water 50% vodka never use everclear and it doesn't matter the cheapness of it. I just made some homemade hawthorn berry tincture and it was perfect. I'm glad I found your video because I was getting ready to weed whack and then I saw all the mint plants and I want to put them to use. Whoever owned this property before I was into natural herbs and healing.
