DIY Mint Extract

DIY Mint Extract

Finally found a use for all my extra mint. DIY mint extract: Bunch of mint, smash it, add vodka, let it chill out for a month, strain, use.  Awesome! I always have way more mint than I can use. Every year when the pineapples or mangos make an appearance in the stores I snatch them up and make my pineapple or mango salsa which has a lot of mint too. 


I have a great picnic rice salad recipe to post. I've been a little swamped with work recently. Story of our lives right? 


I hope this is inspires you to make your own mint extract for holiday cookies or grown up drinks. 
Happy Weekend!
