Инструкции
- This recipie looks very similar to one found in: "Classic Liqueurs; The Art of Making and Cooking with Liqueurs" by Cheryl Long and Heather Kibbey.
- Combine sugar and 3/4 c. water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer till all sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and cold.
- In an aging container, combine apricot halves, almond extract, grain alcohol with 1/2 c. water, and brandy. Stir in cooled sugar syrup mix.
- Cap and let age for 2 days. Remove apricot halves. (Save apricot halves, as they may be used for cooking). Add in food coloring and glycerin. Stir, recap and continue aging for 1 to 2 months.
- Re-bottle as desired. Liqueur is ready to serve but will continue to improve with additional aging.
- Variation: For a more prominent 'bitter almond' flavor, add in 4 apricot nuts,** split in half, to basic mix. Leave in for 2 days to 2 weeks depending upon depth of flavor desired. Remove and throw away apricot nuts.
- Continue as directed.
- **Note: Apricot 'nuts' come from within the apricot pit. You may split pits yourself or possibly obtain them dry at a health food store.
