lime extract

Squeezed green citrus

Lime extract is a concentrated flavoring derived from limes, used in baking, beverages, and cooking.

Like vanilla or almond extract, it delivers intense citrus flavor in small amounts: Add a teaspoon of lime extract to the frosting.

It may be made from lime oil, zest, or juice, often suspended in alcohol.
