    Every few days, tilt your bottle upside down to gently mix the liquid inside.
  5. 5
    After 5 to ⏱️ 6 weeks , you have extract! (I think with citrus peels the acid (and alcohol bath), it’s probably safe to leave the peels inside the bottle like a vanilla bean for re-fill purposes. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this, take it out!)
