Soaked in alcohol

Hi

An extract is a plant preparation of a liquid or vicious consistency usually soaked in alcohol that delivers a strong, concentrated does of the substance.

--- Does it mean that an extract is a preparation made of plants and it can be in the form of a liquid or a vicious consistency and it usually contains alcohol, which contributes to the creation of a strong, concentrated substance.

Does "soaked in" mean that it is "filled/permeated with alcohol"?

Hi The preparation is made by taking part of the plant - it might be the leaves or the root - and soaking it in alcohol over a period of time. The result is a liquid, possibly viscous (sorry, you have the spelling slightly wrong there) The reason for doing this will be to extract a substance or flavour from the plant. The alcohol achieves this So yes, you take the plant, put it in a container, and then pour alcohol over it Dave
