Green Almond Liqueur is a whole new kind of awesome with an aromatic but bittersweet flavor! I will show you how easy it is to prepare this liqueur with unripe almonds.
Rinse and pat dry the almonds. Carefully cut each almond into quarters.
Place the almonds in a 2 liter glass jar, along with the remaining ingredients. Close the lid tight and shake to mix well.
Place the jar by a window sill and leave to macerate for 6 weeks. You must shake the jar daily, especially at the beginning so the sugar can dissolve. The liqueur will get darker over time.
Strain the liqueur of all solid particles through several layers of cheesecloth. Bottle the liquid back into the original vodka bottles. Cork or seal tightly. Store in a cool, dry place for at least 4 months but preferably for 1 year so the bitter taste can mellow out.
Notes
Feel free to use the spent almonds for a 2nd maceration with the same recipe to get a lovely lighter liqueur.
