Hey Guys and Gals! A honeysuckle and orange liqueur steeped in vodka and sweetened with simple syrup.
Ingredients
Step 1
2 cups of honeysuckle flowers
1 orange
3 cups of vodka
Step 2
1 cup of water
1 cup of sugar
Directions
1. Use the flowers only, never the berries, and only from plants that have not been sprayed. Rinse them gently and let them dry.
2. Scrub and zest the orange. Put the flowers and zest in the container.
3. Pour in the vodka, close and shake so everything is submerged.
4. Let sit in a cool, dry place for 2 to 3 weeks.
5. Strain through cheesecloth, gently wringing it to extract the remaining liquid.
6. Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve. Let the syrup cool.
7. Add the syrup slowly, tasting until it is sweet enough.
