List of Ingredients
3 Inch piece stick cinnamon
1 tb Minced peeled fresh ginger
2 Whole cloves
Few gratings nutmeg
1 c Vodka
1/2 c Brandy
1/2 c Sugar
1/4 c Water
Recipe
In a glass bottle or jar, steep the cinnamon,
ginger, cloves and nutmeg in the vodka and brandy
for about two weeks in a cool, dark place, gently
shaking the bottle every day.
Gently pour the jar's contents through a regular
strainer or sieve, pressing hard on the solids to
release all of thier flavor. Follow this by 2
strainings through slightly dampened 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 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, 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.
YIELD: 1 Pint
