Masala And Citrus Homemade Liqueur

Spicy flavours and citrus aromas, all in a single bottle. Always use fresh organic fruits to get a sublime result and adjust its bitterness to your liking by adding extra sugar. It's perfect for curling up and sipping in front of a fire with friends a cold winter night.

Method

1. Wash the fruits thoroughly and peel them with a sharp knife, trying to get a peel as thin as possible (without so much pith, which gives the liqueur its bitterness).

2. Put the ingredients in a glass jar, seal and steep for 20-25 days, gently shaking on a regular basis to help the sugar dissolve.

3. Using a double gauge filter the liqueur into elegant bottles.


Ingredients

1 litre tsipouro
½ litre brandy
6 cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
1 whole nutmeg
500g sugar
1 tangerine unwaxed (peels)
1 orange unwaxed (peels)
