Liqueur Make Fast - Wait Long Liqueur 2 cups sugar (raw sugar is best, white is also fine) 1 liter Vodka (the cheapest available) 2 cups nectar (can use herb extracts, coffee, etc.)
Heat the nectar and sugar until dissolved, cool, add the vodka and store in airtight bottles ... and let it sit for a year. I put a piece of firm fruit in the bottle also. Looks great and adds to the flavor. I also use jackfruit, lychee, guava and other tropical fruits growing in my (or neighbors') yard. A friend made some with anise seeds and it it golden ambrosia! If these fruit are not available, get a can of fruit in syrup and mix the syrup with the vodka, adding some of the fruit. Jackfruit and lychee are very distinctive and delicious. (For those who like a sweeter, more syrupy liqueur, use a little less vodka or more sugar. This recipe is a little on the tart side, but after a year on the shelf, it gets as mellow as as the best. The sweeter ones are a real treat on vanilla Tofutti or other VLF ices.
