Almond Tasty
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup almonds unsalted, chopped
1 teaspoon choclate extract
1 inch vanilla bean
1/2 whole orange peel grated
2 cups vodka
1 whole lemon zest small, grated peel
DIRECTIONS:
1. Lightly pound almonds with hammer (in bag or cover
with paper towel) and combine with other ingredients
in bottle.
2. Be sure to thoroughly scrape orange and lemon peels.
3. Let steep for two weeks, turning bottle occasionally.
The chocolate extract tends to settle on the bottom and
the finished liqueur may need to be mixed before serving.
Strain and filter. Experiment with different variations
of this recipe, perhaps alternating hazelnuts or adding
some spices.
