Great Homemade
Amaretto Liqueur recipe! Here are easy homemade
drink recipes.
Part of the magic of the Holidays for me is the observance of various
rituals and traditions. In the uncertainty of everyday life, Holidays act
like an anchor between the past and the present, holding the ship of life
steady and bringing some calm amidst the storm.
During holidays while I lived at home, Mum made Homemade Liqueur and Appetizers for the family.
1 lemon
3 cups granulated sugar
2 cups water
3 cups vodka
3 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons almond extract
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon chocolate extract
Peel lemon, leaving inner white skin on fruit; reserve lemon for another use. Cut lemon rind into 2 x 1/4-inch strips. Combine lemon rind strips, sugar and water in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes.
Remove from heat; remove and discard lemon rind strips. Cover and chill thoroughly. Add vodka and remaining ingredients to chilled mixture; stir well.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature at least 1 week before serving. Use in any recipe calling for -amaretto.
Yields 6 cups.
