Maple Base v2

Print Pin
Course: Drinks, Liquor
Cuisine: American
Servings: 0

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water (no chlorine or fluoride)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • cup maple syrup (grade B is fine)
  • 6 or 7 whole allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon caraway seed

Instructions

  • These instructions are for v1 and v2.
  • Bring to boil, lower heat, simmer and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and chill.
  • When cold, place liquid in glass jar and add a decent scotch - not expensive, though either Dewar's or Ballentine are fine for this.
  • Store for a few weeks, but it's drinkable after ten days.
  • Into an attractive booze-sized bottle, strain enough for your guests, cap, serve, and take all the credit -- like I don't have feelings, too. (This is so hurtful.)
  • Don't reuse the strained out spices once you've transferred the last of this lovely liquor.
