Very easy and economical! And tastes good too! I am looking forward to trying it with lime. Used in some muffins and worked great. Made for Spring 2011 PAC game. -
I've used this for years and wanted to post it, but luckily checked on zaar if it's already posted :) This is much cheaper and better than any artificial flavoring. Thanks for posting! -
I tried this and also used for lemon and this was great. My Daughter wanted to know where I bought the extract and when I told her I made it she had to see the recipe. She was amazed of how good it was and for such a lot of money saved. Thanks for the recipe. -
