A creamy and spicy vodka liqueur, ready to be gifted and savoured on Christmas day.
Ingredients
- 200 ml water
- 75 g light muscovado sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks broken in pieces
- 3 cardamom pods bruised to break the husk
- 3 whole cloves
- ½ star anise
- pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 350 ml vodka
- 1 tin Carnation caramel
- 300 ml single cream
Instructions
- In a pot, place the water and sugar and turn on the fire to medium heat. Let the sugar dissolve completely.
- Once the sugar is fully dissolved, add the spices and bring to a boil.
- Cover with a lid and let this mix simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add the vodka, give it a good stir and set aside to infuse overnight at room temperature.
- The following day, grab a big jug and pour the caramel in it. Then add the cream, slowly, mixing it constantly so it does not split.
- Once the cream and caramel are well combined, strain the vodka infusion and it on top, mixing it carefully, then add a big pinch of salt.
- Pour in the bottle of your choice and let it rest in the fridge.
