DIY Honey Liqueur
Makes about 2 1/4 cups
Active time: 10 minutes
Total time: 12 hours
Ingredients
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup water
1-inch piece of orange zest, pith removed (optional)
1 stick cinnamon (optional)
1 1/2 cups vodka
Procedures
1 Cook the honey, water, orange zest, and cinnamon over medium heat stirring frequently, until it is integrated into a syrup, about 5 minutes. Let cool, with the orange zest and cinnamon still in the pot. Scrape off any white foam.
2 Once the syrup has cooled, remove the zest and cinnamon. Then combine the honey syrup and vodka in a sealable glass jar, seal, and shake. Serve immediately, or for better flavour, allow to rest for a minimum of 12 hours. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
