Drambuie recipe

HOW TO MAKE DRAMBUIE!

a recipe by geophf from seriouseats DIY

Step 1: 1/3 cup honey. 

... if the honey doesn't come out of the jar, run water continuously over it until the honey starts to flow.

Not that I had this problem ... 🙄

Narrator: He did. 

Step 2: 1/2 cup filtered water.

The better the quality of water, the better the drink. 

Step 3: 1 tsp ground or crushed fennel seeds.

Now, some use mortar and pestle, which is totally fine. I use my coffee grinder (after cleaning it thoroughly), which gets the same results: fennel seeds cracked open and powdery.

Step 4: 1 Tbsp fresh rosemarie leaves.

It turns out to be about one sprig's worth of leaves. 

Step 5: combine ingredients and heat until integrated into a syrup, swirling continuously.

This all happens pretty quickly: 5 or so minutes.

Step 6: pour everything into your bottle, don't filter anything, you want this all to steep. Add 3/4 cup Scotch or Whiskey, ... the cheap stuff is fine for this recipe, as the herbs really make their powerful presence felt in Drambuie.

Step 7: let steep for 3 days. Then: filter. Then: drink. Can be refrigerated for up to 6 months (???).

I don't refrigerate Drambuie, and my last bottle lasted for over a year in the liquor cabinet, but you store it however you like.

The. End.
