I don't use this extract for its conventional purpose of baking; i use it as a medium to apply different edible paints to cakes and cake decor. It evaporates fast and doesnt leave any color or real smell behind. It's serving its purpose so far.

I love this site. I have ordered many extracts and have never been disappointed. They are great!! The only complaint is the plastic bottle. I remove the extract and put it in glass bottles I purchased.

Flavor:
Spearmint

Originally bought the Shank's spearmint thinking it was the peppermint, but it was a happy accident! The spearmint is definitely very different than the peppermint but they're both unique and lovely in their own minty ways. Definitely recommend getting both of them and seeing which one you prefer in your drinks and baked goods. We just made a vegan and gluten free spearmint swirl cookie that guests really enjoyed!

This is the only extract we use for all of our lemon baked items. This extract flavors our lemon loaf and lemon layer cake perfectly and the flavor in the cake tastes delicious. This is the only brand we use.

This Lemon extract is a great bulk option and adds a great lemon flavor to whatever you are using it for. I love the price on this item also. Most people use lemon extract for baking. We use it for making smoothies and it tastes really good. For a 24 oz smoothie we only need half a teaspoon to add a good flavor.

This was a great find, as orange extract is not one of the easiest extracts to find. I have used this extract in several recipes, and it gave each of my recipes, a very natural citrus essence.

This is by far the best Orange flavoring I have used, it's not thick and gel type like others on the market. This orange extract makes my Orange Cream Cheese icing amazing. nd it comes in a large bottle so that you don't have to order every time you turn around. you won't be sorry if you purchase this item

This is now my FAVORITE! Pure Peppermint Extract is all we will use and when you use items such as this in buik, you want to know you are using a quality item. We have found Webstraunt to provide only the best quality for the best price thus far,

Whether in lemon cookies, or lemon sblueberry cones, this is perfect. The only thing that would be better is if it was sold in bulk.

I have tried many other brand of peppermint extract, and this is the best tasting for a great value. We use this in baking as well as in our smoothies to create the perfect Mint Chocolate Smoothies. We even add it to our Coffee Sugar Scrub for a beautiful aroma and it leaves your skin so refreshed.
