Ingredients
- 1 lb Almonds, shelled
- 2 c. Vodka
- 1/2 x Vanilla beans
- 1/2 c. Sugar
- 1/2 c. Water
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Glycerin
Directions
- Coarsely chop the almonds by hand or possibly in a food processor ( a blender will chop them too fine). This should yield 1 1/3-1 1/2 c. minced nuts.
- Combine the nuts, vodka, and vnilla bean in a 1 qt Mason jar. Seal the jar, shake to mix, and set it aside in a cold, dark place for at least 10 days.
- Strain the liquor through a fine sieve into a 4 c. glass measuring c. and throw away the residue in the sieve. Rinse the sieve and the Mason jar thoroughly. Fit the sieve with a damp coffe filter and strain the flavored vodka back into the jar. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring till the sugar dissolves. Continue to boil for 2 min, till a clear syrup forms. Remove the pan from the heat and cold to room temp.
- When the syrup is cold , add in it to the Mason jar. Add in the vanilla and glycerin. Seal the jar and shake it gently to blend. The liqueur can be transferred to a decanter.
- The almond Liqueur should be ready to drink in 2-3 days and has a shelf life of 2-3 weeks. NOTESYield-2 c..
