Essential oils are the highly concentrated, volatile, aromatic essences of plants. These natural plant oils are appreciated for both their aromatic and flavoring qualities. Many essential oils such as peppermint, lemon and orange are commonly used to flavor desserts, candies and chocolates. Other, more herbal oils, such as thyme and marjoram are better suited for flavoring savory foods such as stews and sauces. Lavender and bergamot oils have become popular in chocolate crafting especially.

HOW DO I USE FOOD GRADE ESSENTIAL OILS?

Essential oils are VERY concentrated, and therefore should be used in small amounts and never ingested undiluted or directly from the bottle.

USING CITRUS OILS IN PLACE OF CITRUS ZEST:

• Substitute lemon oil for lemon zest, orange oil for orange zest and lime oil for lime zest.
• In recipes calling for grated citrus zest or peel start with 1/8 teaspoon essential oil in place of 1 tablespoon of zest. No more grated knuckles! This is an easy way to add a punch of citrus flavor to glazes, toppings, sauces – even piecrust!

USING ESSENTIAL OILS IN SAVORY COOKING:

• For most oils, one drop replaces a teaspoon of dried herb or spice.
