experiments in alcohol!

Not so long ago, a friend posted on facebook a fun little article on making liquor at home. Daniel and I decided that it needed  to be tested and so we did! we opted to try for an orange Creamsicle tasting liquor since citrus seemed to be super important in this process we thought it would be our best chance at success in our first endeavour.

 this along with sugar, vanilla and some lemons and oranges are the ingredients.

 all ready to be stored in the pantry for about 10 days (we actually opened them after 2 weeks since we forgot!)

 here we just shook them once a day and let them sit.

beginning the first pass at straining.

it wasn't a fast process separating those milk solids from the alcohol! the oranges sure were charged though!!

 here you can see the milk on the surface of the jar in the back, after another pass through the filter it was all gone.

it was a fairly long process straining the liquid a few times but, worth it as we got a grew result. it was a fun and easy divertissement for us and highly recommended for any who want to try it!
