It seems imitation almond extract usually contains: water, alcohol (25%-40%), and a flavoring bitter almonds. A drop can kill someone with a nut allergy. Also, bitter almonds are poisinous in a small quantity due to the cyanide. Although all almonds and other seeds from similar plants (pits of peaches and apricots for example) contain cyanide, the extract has high concentrations of it. It is ok to use a few drops in a batch of dough, but if you are taking sips of this because you want a little buzz, you are in big trouble.
Homemade almond extract can be dangerous to consume if not made properly. Bitter almonds contain cyanide, which can be toxic in high amounts. It is important to use caution and follow a trusted recipe when making homemade almond extract to ensure it is safe to consume.
