Christmas Calendar 2012 Day 17 - cardamon liquer


I found this suggestion on making kardemommelikør (cardamon liqueur) on the blog called "Klidmoster",as I have some kind of attraction towards cardamon as spice, I decided to make a bottle of cardamom liqueur for me self and my various Christmas guests.

Cardamon liqueur a la Klidmoster:

  • 200 g sugar
  • 100 g water
  • 30 cardamon kernels - being crushed in a bag using a baking roll
  • 250 g vodka
  1. Start by adding boiling water to a glass bottle.
  2. Add sugar and water into a cooking pot together with the cardamon kernels, heat this sugar syrup up to the boiling point.
  3. Empty the glass bottle for water, and pour the sugar syrup with cardamon kernels into this bottles.
  4. Fill up the bottle with vodka. Shake everything together.
  5. Shake the bottle every day.
  6. Let the vodka extract the flavour for 10-14 days.
  7. Pour the cardamon liqueur through a sieve.
  8. Fill the sieved cardamon liqueur into a new clean bottle, which is stored cold in the refrigerator  .
  9. Enjoy

  1. Hei Kirsten. Så mange lekre oppskrifter du deler med oss i denne juletid:) Jeg fikk vaniljestengene i dag. Jeg ble overrasket over hvor mange det var i pakken! Tusen takk:) Jeg gleder meg stort til å bruke dem i bakingen:) Ønsker deg en fin uke. God klem fra Ellen

    1. Hej Ellen !

      Dejligt at høre, at vanillestængerne er nået frem til dig i Norge. I julen kan man meget nemt komme til at bruge rigtige mange vanillestænger, så jeg tænkte, at du kunne få brug for en stor portion heraf til alle julens mange dejlige opskrifter.

      Mange jule-køkken-hilsner Kirsten
