Chocolate Liqueur 1 Ingredients: 2 teaspoon Pure chocolate extract ½ teaspoon Pure vanilla extract 1½ cup Vodka ½ cup Sugar syrup ½ teaspoon Fresh mint, optional 1 drop Peppermint extract, optional Instructions: Mix all ingredients and let mature 2 weeks. The chocolate tends to settle on the bottom and may need to be stirred before serving. Finished version will tend to be thin, but is still quite tasty and excellent for mixing in coffee or pouring over desserts. Add glycerine to thicken if desired. For chocolate mint, add 1/2 teaspoon fresh mint and a few drops of peppermint extract. Let mature 2 additional weeks. |

Chocolate Liqueur 2 Ingredients: 1½ cup Sugar ¾ cup Water 3 cup Vodka 5 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa 1 each Vanilla bean, split Instructions: Combine sugar and water in small saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture boils. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature. Measure 1 cup of the mixture; combine with vodka, cocoa and vanilla bean in clean 2-quart glass container. Cover tightly; keep in cool dark place for 14 days, shaking thoroughly every 2 days. Strain liqueur through dampened coffee filter paper into clean glass container. (Change filter paper in mid-process or, if necessary, let drip overnight as cocoa residue is very thick.) Repeat straining process if residue remains. Remove vanilla bean. Cover tightly; let liqueur age in cool, dark place for at least 1 month. |
