Almond extract is a concentrated flavoring made from bitter almonds or a blend of almond oil and ethyl alcohol. It has a bold, sweet, and slightly nutty flavor with a hint of cherry-like aroma, making it a popular ingredient in baking and desserts. Just a few drops can enhance the taste of cookies, cakes, pastries, and frostings, as well as beverages like coffee and hot chocolate. Its potency means it is typically used sparingly.
