-I've recently started playing around with making nalewkas - traditional -Polish liqueurs based on vodka/neutral spirits infusion. -

- -

-The only good recipes I've seen are in Polish, so wanted to share some with the -English speaking world. -

- -

-In this post I'll give a recipe for krupnik staropolski - - 1 -. -

- -

Ingredients:

-

-(makes a 16oz. Mason jar of liqueur) -

-One thing to note is that nalewka making is not an exact science. Pick and -choose the spices. Adjust amounts to your liking. Experiment and have fun! -

- -

Steps

-

Stage 1: Preparation (10-30 minutes)

-
    -
  1. Boil honey in pot.
    2. -
  2. The honey should have separated. Remove the top foamy layer.
    3. -
  3. Pour the liquid honey into jar.
    4. -
  4. Add rest of ingredients to jar.
    5. -
  5. Fill the rest of the way up with alcohol.
    6. -
  6. Shut jar and find spot to store.
    7. -
-

Stage 2: Infusion + Filtration (~2 weeks+)

-
    -
  1. - Let sit. For like 2 weeks or so. This is where the alcohol mixes with - honey and becomes infused with flavors from the spices. -
    2. -
  2. Pour through strainer and throw away the solids.
    3. -
  3. - Filter through several layers of gauze or a coffee filter. This is to - remove that nasty layer of sediment at the bottom of the otherwise - beautifully golden liquid.2 -
    4. -
- -

Stage 3: Aging (1 week - multiple years)

-

-Finally, it's good to let the krupnik sit on a shelf at least a few days before -drinking. If you try it right after the infusion stage, you might notice it -still reeking of ethanol and being hard on your taste buds and throat. -

- -

-With time, the liqueur will become very smooth and all the flavors will mix and -complement each other. -

- -

- 1. Not to be confused with the tasty Polish grain soup. -

- -

- 2. Honestly, sometimes I skip this step because I'm too - lazy. I'll just pour the liquid out to a new jar and stop pouring when the - sediments start mixing with the good stuff. -
