Cinnamon Spice Liqueur
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
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 aucepan, 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 o blend. Let mature at room temperature, or slightly cooler, for at least 1 week.
Agrumino -- Citrus Liqueur
The zest of 4 oranges The zest of 2 lemons The zest of a half a citron (a cousin of the lemon, which looks like a lemon but is twice its size -- use another lemon, or a lime if need be) 1 small mandarin orange, quartered 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/4 cups water 1 1/4 cups alcohol Bring the water to a boil, remove it from the fire, and dissolve the sugar into it. When the syrup has cooled transfer it to a jar with the other ingredients. Seal the jar and let everything steep, shaking it daily, for 10 days. Filter using gauze into an elegant bottle, and age it for 6 months before you break it out.For an amazingly delicate variation, use the zest of a dozen tangerines instead of that from the oranges and lemons.
