Making an extract from herbs and spices is a great way to create unique flavours for bitters and soda. Though essences capture the aroma compounds, extracts capture the flavour compounds that provide bitterness, astringency and spiciness which helps to rounds out drinks.

Using a percolator is the faster way to make an extract, taking 24 to 48 hours and creates a concentrate that can be diluted to make tinctures, elixirs, tonics and syrups.
