I have every ingredient for WASC except the extract. Can I sub almond oil instead of the extract? If so, how much and do I need to increase the clear vanilla or the water since the oil isn't as liquid as the extract?

Thanks in advance Smile

You can use one eighth as much pure bitter almond oil can also be a substitute. I found that little tidbit on http://everything2.com/e2node/almond%2520extract. Have a read if you'd like before you make the substitution.

Just be sure that you are not buying sweet almond oil - that is a very light, odorless, tasteless carrier oil. I use it in soap and lotions - it will add no flavor at all Laughing
