Homemade Angelica Liqueur (Meilach) Recipe

Miscellaneous Untried Recipes

This is from a collection of recipes from books I own, but which I haven't myself tried yet. However, you can have faith that at least the authors themselves have tried them, so they're not deadly or anything.

These recipes are probably much closer to Galliano® than Benedictine®.

From Homemade Liqueurs by Dona and Mel Meilach:

• 1/2 ounce cut up bits of angelica root or stems
• 1/2 ounce chopped almonds or almond extract
• 1 1/2 cups vodka
• 1/2 cup sugar syrup (or substitute 1/2 cup honey)

Steep angelica and almond in vodka for 5 days. Strain and filter. Add syrup or honey to liqueur. Age 2 months.

Optional flavorings: pinch of nutmeg, mace, cinnamon; 1 clove; 1 1/2 teaspoons hyssop; lemon verbena.
