I make many handmade extracts for my natural perfumes......trust me the scent sticks to anything.....including a mortar and pestle. I just had a very difficult time getting the scent of musk seeds from my mortar and pestle!

I also use a dedicated coffee grinder. I use the Kitchen Maid that comes sith several attachments (3 bowls with blades for grinding). So I keep one reserved for my very aromatic materials.

I have used vanilla and it is very easy, but when I used spices I got some very good powder and I put in a lot and then I filtered it.

Hey there LZR - It's great using powders! You get the max out of a dried spice that way - the 'fun part' is when it's time to filter :)
