Honey Recipes
Posted: Fri Jun 05, 2020 2:40 pm
I was given some delicious raw honey by a friend who has a couple of hives. These are the recipes I made. I used ordinary home brand rolled oats but the Oat and Honey vodka would be particularly good with some fancier oats.

Krupnik (Spiced Honey Vodka)
Recipes on the net suggest heating a honey syrup with spices and then adding the alcohol later. The version I tried from the net was too sweet and the flavours of the spices were quite weak.
This is my version of Krupnik. The spices are macerated in neutral first and then strained before a weak honey syrup is added ( 2 large dessertspoons of honey and 125 ml filtered water heated gently until the honey is dissolved).
1 litre 40% neutral
Spices:
10 black peppercorns
½ whole nutmeg (smashed)
¼ teaspoon cardamon seeds
10 coriander seeds
6 cloves
2 star anise
4 cardamon pods
1 cm dried lavender head
small cassia stick ( did not have cinnamon sticks)
Macerate for 3 days.
Remove cassia and lavender.
Macerate 2 weeks.
Strain botanicals.
Add honey syrup.
Oat and Honey Vodka
700ml neutral at 40%
2 cups rolled oats
Infuse for 5 days.
Strain oats.
Add honey syrup ( 1 cup water warmed with 4 large dessertspoons of honey until dissolved).
For a Quaker Shaker mix Oat and Honey Vodka with milk and stir with a cinnamon stick.
