Homemade Orange Extract 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.

From Homemade Liqueurs by Dona and Mel Meilach:

Orange Extract

• 1 1/2 teaspoons extract (pure, not "imitation")
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 1 pinch caraway
• 1 pinch coriander
• 3 cups brandy or vodka
• 1 cup sugar syrup

Mix all the ingredients (including syrup) in the bottle and steep a few days. Yield: 4 cups.

Optional Flavorings

For any or all of the above orange recipes, a pinch or 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, coriander, whole cloves, or a piece of lemon peel scraped and cut. Also consider using honey instead of sugar syrup.
