A "limoncello" type liqueuer made from kumquats.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups kumquats
- ½ liter pure cane alcohol 45 proof (see notes)
- 1 cup sugar
- 10 oz water
Instructions
- Peel the kumquats, and place the rind in a large glass jar or container then cover with the alcohol. Seal with a lid leave in a cool, dark place for 10 days.
- At the end of 10 days, strain the alcohol and discard the rinds.
- Put the sugar and 10 ounces of water into a pot over medium heat, and stir to melt the sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3 minutes, then remove from heat and cool completely. When cool, mix the sugar syrup with the alcohol and strain again, this time using a cheesecloth or even some paper towel inside the tea strainer (like I used in the photo above), then pour into small bottles or one larger bottle.
- Keep the Kumquat liqueur in the freezer and enjoy as is, or even mix it with some milk for a creamy, and less potent version.
Notes
- Use milk (or milk and cream) for a creamy kumquat liqueur.
- Try to find pure cane alcohol (do not use vodka) if you use 190 proof, use only 250 ml and increase the water to 600 ml.
