- 3 tablespoon dried lavender

In a clean glass bottle or jar, add lavender flowers and top it with vodka. Close the lid and give a good shake.
Place the jar away from sunlight. Leave it ripping for 3 weeks. Shake it every other day during the extraction process.
After 3 weeks, strain the liquid and discard the lavender flowers.
Use a coffee filter to strain for a clearer extract.
If using fresh lavender, double the amount asked for in the recipe card.
Make it alcohol-free: substitute vodka with three parts food-grade liquid glycerin and one part water.
