Ingredients for Cinnamon Spice Liqueur Recipe
1 3-inch piece stick cinnamon
1 tb Minced; peeled fresh ginger
2 Whole cloves
Few gratings of nutmeg
1 c Vodka
1/2 c Brandy
1/2 c Sugar
1/4 c Water
Cinnamon Spice Liqueur Preparation
In a glass bottle or jar, steep the cinnamon stick, minced ginger, cloves and nutmeg in the vodka and brandy for about 2 weeks in a dark, cool place, gently shaking the bottle each day. Gently pour the jar’s contents through a regular strainer or sieve, pressing hard on the solids to release all their flavor. Follow this with 2 strainings through slightly damp cheesecloth. For true clarity and professional-looking results, pour the strained mixture through a large clean coffee filter placed inside a funnel or clean coffee cone; loosely cover the contents with plastic wrap, since the process may take several hours. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Funnel the strained spice mixture into a glass bottle, then funnel in the sugar syrup. Cork tightly; shake to blend. Let mature at room temperature or slightly cooler for at least 1 week. Makes about 1 pint. Note: The prep time does not include the 3 weeks necessary for the liqueur to steep and mature. NOTES : The author’s favorite way to serve this zesty liqueur is mixed into whipped cream for gingerbread topping or added to a mug of steaming tea. Reprinted in The Sacramento Bee October 1, 1997.
