Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 ml Vodka
- 4 tablespoons Honey
- 250 ml Water
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 6 pieces Cloves
- 4 pieces Allspice berries
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 strip Orange peel
- 1 piece Star anise
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves, allspice berries, star anise, nutmeg, and orange peel.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the honey dissolves completely.
Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the liquid.
Add the vodka to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Heat gently for 2–3 minutes but do not let the mixture come to a boil, as this will burn off the alcohol.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the spices and orange peel.
Pour the hot Krupnik into heatproof glasses or mugs and serve immediately.
Optionally, garnish with a cinnamon stick or a slice of orange for an added touch.
