Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 250 grams Granulated sugar
- 500 milliliters Vodka (40% ABV)
- 1 whole Vanilla bean
- 1 strip (from an unwaxed lemon) Lemon zest
- 250 milliliters Water
Instructions
1. Wash the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters depending on their size.
2. Place the strawberries in a clean and sterilized glass jar (at least 1-liter capacity).
3. Slice the vanilla bean lengthwise to expose the seeds and add it to the jar along with the strip of lemon zest.
4. Pour the vodka over the strawberries, ensuring the fruit is fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
5. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every two to three days to mix the contents.
6. After 2 weeks, combine the granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has fully dissolved to create a simple syrup. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
7. Strain the strawberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible.
8. Discard the solids and return the strained liquid to the clean jar. Add the cooled simple syrup and stir gently to combine.
9. Seal the jar again and let the liqueur rest for another week to allow the flavors to meld together.
10. After resting, transfer the liqueur to a clean glass bottle for storage. Serve chilled on its own, mix into cocktails, or use as a dessert topping.
