What do you need to do this? Use vodka or better yet, everclear. Depending on what you choose you can simply weigh it all out, can it cold, and place in the refrigerator for a few days then strain and you got yourself a nice bit of extract for sauces, marinating, baking, or whatever.

I was at a store one day and I noticed those packages of dry yeast. I had no idea what to do with them and bought them anyway because they were cheap.

Saw it on Gizmodo, thought I would give it a try. It’s equal parts sugar, vodka, and whole milk. It’s flavored with two oranges and a meyer lemon. Takes a couple of weeks to be amazing. Eric
