More Alcohol

[affreca]

Finally filtered and finished the last two liquors that I started steeping back in January. Not that they needed to steep that long (a month would have been enough), but I just never got around to them. Both are tasty successes.


Creme de Vanilla
1 vanilla bean
1.5 c 80 proof vodka
1/4 c water
1/4 c white sugar
1/4 c brown sugar

Score vanilla bean. Steep in vodka for 3 months. Strain out bean. Then run through coffee filter. Heat water and sugars until sugar is dissolved. Add to vodka.

Curacao
1 orange's worth of peel
3/4 c whiskey (I used white horse)
1/4 c honey

Peel orange (don't save white pith). Steep in whiskey for 3 months. Strain and filter. Add honey (heat to mix well).

In response to comment on telophase's LJ: I have the trilogy if you want me to send it. Not like I'm going to be brave enough to reread it.

Mmm...Yes - but you'd need to send it to my home address, as it would probably miss me over here. Or, if you haven't gone to the con yet, you could drop it off at the apato with Nailz. She might enjoy some "recreational" reading. :) Otherwise, if you want to send it, I can send you the mailing address in an email.

OH - and those liquors sound delicious...*drools*

I'll drop them off when I'm in TC later this month.

So far I've only tried a sip of the Curacao. I had a shot of vanilla last night, and is a wonderful dark flavor. Going to try it in Coke next.
