When purchasing a 2-ounce bottle of one of our premium Angel Bake extracts, such as Pure Lemon, Pure Cardamom, or Pure Lavender Extract, you may wonder: how long will it last? With our high-concentration extracts, a little truly goes a long way. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the number of servings you can expect from one of our 2-ounce bottles, based on the recommended usage of 3-5 drops per cup of whatever you’re flavoring.
Why Only 3-5 Drops?
Angel Bake extracts are known for their high concentration. That means you get intense, authentic flavor with just a few drops. Unlike imitation extracts or lower-quality options that require larger amounts to achieve noticeable flavor, our extracts are potent—thanks to our meticulous distillation process and commitment to purity.
For most culinary applications—whether you’re adding flavor to baked goods, beverages, sauces, or savory dishes—our recommendation is to start with 3-5 drops per cup of the item you’re flavoring. This range allows flexibility for personal taste: some might prefer a subtle hint of flavor (3 drops), while others may prefer a more pronounced flavor (5 drops).
How Many Drops in a 2-Ounce Bottle?
Let’s break down the math to give you a clearer idea of how long your extract will last.
- 1 ounce = 6 teaspoons
- 1 teaspoon = approximately 98 drops
- 2-ounce bottle = 12 teaspoons = approximately 1,176 drops
This means that your 2-ounce bottle of extract contains approximately 1,176 drops of liquid.
How Many Servings?
Now that we know a 2-ounce bottle holds around 1,176 drops, let’s calculate the number of servings you’ll get:
- 3 drops per cup = about 392 servings (1,176 ÷ 3)
- 5 drops per cup = about 235 servings (1,176 ÷ 5)
So, depending on how many drops you use per cup, your bottle could yield anywhere from 235 to 392 servings!
Where Can You Use Our Extracts?
Our extracts are versatile and can be used in a wide variety of culinary applications. Here are some popular uses:
- Baking: Infuse cakes, cookies, muffins, or frosting with your favorite extract flavor.
- Beverages: Add a few drops to your coffee, tea, or homemade lemonade for a refreshing twist.
- Sauces and Dressings: Enhance savory dishes with a splash of lavender, cardamom, or lemon extract.
- Cocktails: Impress your guests by adding extracts to cocktails for a burst of citrus, spice, or floral notes.
- Ice Cream & Sorbet: Add depth to your frozen desserts by flavoring them with our high-quality extracts.
Stretch Your Bottle, Not Your Budget
Because our extracts are so concentrated, you get more servings per bottle, which means you’re getting incredible value. Not only do you enjoy the highest quality flavor, but you also benefit from longevity—making Angel Bake extracts an excellent investment for your kitchen.
Pro Tip: Start Small
We always recommend starting with the lower end of the suggested range—3 drops per cup—and then adjusting to your taste. You can always add more if you desire a stronger flavor, but with the potency of our extracts, you’ll often find that less is more!

Their high concentration ensures that a little goes a long way, helping you infuse every dish or beverage with the perfect amount of flavor.
