Homemade Mint Extract
There really is no "recipe" you are basically just putting as much as you have into a jar that will hold it, add vodka or for the non alcoholic version, vegetable glycerin to cover the leaves and that is that.
So you can make as much or as little as you like depending on how much mint you have on hand.
The extract have to nature for at least 2 months though for best flavor so be sure to plan ahead!
