Star Kay White Extracts Pure Extract, Lemon, 2 Ounce

This peppermint extract tastes as I expected. It doesn't seem too dilute, for instance, and there is no funky taste I can discern.My one complaint has to be with the bottle. It is difficult pouring out the extract without losing a considerable portion to spillage. Ideally there should be a dropper cap, but barring that maybe a narrower lip or one of those plastic discs with a small opening in the middle. Something to give the user finer pouring control.

People seem to get EXTRACT and PURE OIL confused. Alcohol has to be added because it literally brings the flavor out of the small quantity of peppermint leaves that were actually used. If you don't want a product with alcohol then purchase the oil since they're usually 100% pure, nobody's forcing anyone to get the extract. But anyway, I used this along with cinnamon oil to make toothpicks, this flavor is very potent (No weak, sugary stuff here) It's so potent that I had to make my cinnamon and peppermint toothpicks in two different areas of the kitchen, or else the flavors and scents will overlap eachother and you will have a cinnamon/peppermint tasting toothpick. This also feels amazing when mixed with lotion. Why pay nearly 10 bucks for some goldbond when you can put a teaspoon of this in your $2.00 lotion and feel that instant tingle. You can even soak the head of your toothbrush in it and it lasts for several brushings. All in all, great buy; but please know...THIS IS THE EXTRACT!!! The company that makes these products doesn't deserve the bad reviews based on people's inability to decipher the two. Once again, this product IS THE EXTRACT!!!

Needed something for anxiety and stress and this was so helpful in making lavender lemonade. So good. A little goes a long way. Will purchase again. My family enjoys it’s so good. The summer will def be a relaxing and tasty one.

I got interested in culinary lavender after trying Sonic's Wildberry & Lavender shake. I'm in love!! So I ordered this to try and replicate it. In the meantime, I went to Pinterest to look for other recipes. I found one for Lavender Shortbread cookies. My son loves shortbread cookies (I wasn't a fan), so when I had an opportunity to visit him recently, I took my extract along. We made a batch (easy ingredients), baked them up, and OMG they were heavenly!! Right out of the oven, when they were still soft in the middle...WOW. Even after they hardened up, they were awesome....I think I just changed my mind about these cookies...as for the ice cream, I haven't gotten around to making it yet, but I'm sure it will be another winner. You owe it to yourself to try some of this extract...people will definitely be impressed.

I think all people vary on what artifical stuff tastes chemically so opinions should vary. This does add a hint of chocolate flavor (3-4 drops in a cup of coffee, say) but that's also right at the level where the chemical flavor gets noticable for me. It's best use for me is to add a drop to a cup of coffee that's already chocolate flavored for when I want to nudge it up about a half notch or so. For me, and for my small window of usefulness, this bottle will last me more than a year easily.

I bought this because I got tired of grinding up lavender flowers for baking. I've used it in cupcakes in both the cake and the frosting, and I ended up liking the taste better than the flowers. Lavender is pretty tricky to use in baking, as adding even a little too much can make it taste soapy or like a beauty product. I was worried that because it's an extract it would be too concentrated and I wouldn't be able to use it successfully, but it ended up tasting really light and floral. It also has a much longer shelf life than dried flowers do, since they lose their fragrance over time. If you are baking with it I'd suggest starting with a small amount (about 1/4 tsp) and taste testing before adding more.

This is the Real deal for making mamool or Any rose flavored shortbread cookies or desert. Very potent stuff so the price isn't high considering how little you need.I make a tea time favorite by simply adding half a cap full to my shortbread cookie recipe then I add dried rose petals (available in Asian stores and used for tea) into my dough and what I get is lovely white cookies speckled with bright pink rose petals and a beautiful rose bouquet in your mouth when take a bite. Never any chemical, bitter or phony flavor to it. Also, this has a Very long shelf life. My last bottle lasted me a couple years and it never "turned" on me and for lack of a better phrase..good to the last drop.

Bitter tasting if you use too much. I was able to make a decent gingerbread latte using two extract bottle dips and coffee stirs with a swizzle stick. I added a shake of cinnamon or pumpkin spice and sweeten to taste for this home-made version of Starbucks' Gingerbread Latte. Not so pleasant for making ginger ale--the reason I purchased this in the first place. Ginger beer syrup works better, but Trader Joe's Ginger Beer is only a $1 per bottle and still tastes better than the Ginger Beer syrup I have tried so far.
