lemon extract

Baking flavor booster

Lemon extract is a concentrated flavoring made by steeping lemon peel in alcohol, used in baking and cooking where fresh lemon juice would add unwanted liquid: Add a teaspoon of lemon extract to the cake batter.

The alcohol base makes it shelf-stable and intensely flavored—a little goes a long way.
