Lemon extract is a concentrated flavoring derived from lemon peels, typically made by steeping the zest in alcohol to capture its bright, tangy, and aromatic essence. It imparts a pure citrus flavor without the acidity of lemon juice, making it a versatile ingredient in baking, cooking, and beverages. Commonly used to enhance cakes, cookies, frostings, and marinades, lemon extract adds a refreshing, zesty depth to both sweet and savory dishes.
