Proper storage preserves your natural extracts' potency and extends their lifespan:

Store in a cool, dark place away from heat sources and direct sunlight. A pantry or cupboard away from your stove is ideal since heat and light degrade delicate flavors over time.

Keep bottles tightly sealed between uses to prevent alcohol evaporation and maintain concentration.

Avoid temperature fluctuations, so DO NOT refrigerate extracts; condensation can introduce moisture and dilute the product.

Use clean utensils when measuring to prevent contamination.

Maintain original packaging when possible, as dark glass bottles protect against light exposure better than clear containers.
