However, our 1 litre bottle of Eau de Vie allowed us to make twice as much!

After a month in the cellar and several days for gravity to work its magic with filtration (rushing it makes it cloud), we now have several bottles of a surprisingly strong pink liquer. It’s sweeter than I’d like. I wasn’t sure how much sugar to cut when using tart tangerines in place of bitter oranges; the anwer is more than 50 grams. Still, it’s pretty and refreshing and oh so gratifyingly home-made. Wine» [...] [...] Awhile back I told you about the beginning of my first endeavor in house-made liquer.
