KrupnikasIngredients:
All spices should be cracked lightly if possible to maximize flavor.
8 whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
10 cardamom pods, cracked
1/2 nutmeg seed, cracked
5 allspice berries
1 1/2 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp fennel seed
3 inch piece of ginger root, cut into 4 pieces
2 inch piece turmeric, cut into 4 pieces
The peel of 1 orange
The peel of 1/2 a lemon
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1 1/2 lbs honey
1 quart water
750 ml Everclear (190 proof grain alcohol)
Leave out the black pepper corns, fennel, and cardamom and it sounds very nice! My son makes an applejack with honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, peel of an orange, half peel of a lime, two vanilla beans split, apple cider, apple juice, and Everclear. I still have four jars sealed in my liquor closet. [He makes a crockpot full so I jar it and store it when the lid ‘pops’. Leave out the cinnamon stick when jarring it.
Too much work...just everclear and grape kool aid..:-)
