This is a guide to making your own liqueurs. It provides recipes suitable for the home brewer, as well as different ways to use the liqueur you create, such as in delicious desserts and chocolates.
Making liqueurs is perhaps the newest home craft to be undertaken in recent years with the reward of the lasting pleasure that comes from using one's imagination to create a fine (and unique) product. To make the liqueurs in this book you won't need complicated equipment: just scales, containers, a filter and a selection of ingredients most of which can be found in your home and garden, or in the local supermarket. Every liqueur has an alcohol base which may seem expensive at first glance, but when you compare the results of your finished product - the quantity of liqueur you have produced - with the cost of commercially produced liqueurs, you will see that you have saved money; and you have the added pleasure of having created, with a little experimenting, a product more suitable to your taste.
