Rich blackcurrant liqueur infused with cinnamon, cloves, and star anise. A smooth homemade spirit perfect for sipping or gifting.
# Directions:
01 - Rinse the blackcurrants and pat dry. Slightly crush them with a potato masher or fork to release juices.
02 - Place the blackcurrants in a large sterilized jar with at least 1.5-liter capacity. Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, black peppercorns, and lemon zest.
03 - Pour in the sugar, followed by the vodka. Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to dissolve some sugar.
04 - Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 2 to 4 weeks, shaking gently every few days to help the flavors infuse and sugar dissolve.
05 - After infusion, strain the mixture through a fine sieve or muslin cloth into a clean jug. Discard the solids.
06 - Decant the liqueur into sterilized bottles, seal, and label. Allow the liqueur to mature for at least one additional week before drinking.
07 - Serve chilled or over ice.
