HOMEMADE PISTACHIO CORDIAL

A healty pistachio liqueur 

Ingredients

  • 24 oz Roasted and Shelled Pistachios
  • 8 oz Clover Honey
  • 1 cup White Sugar
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 liter Everclear

Instructions

  1. Start by infusing 24oz of pistachios in one liter of Everlcear: Minimum of 24 hours

  2. Pour infusion (including whole pistachio’s) into a saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium heat- until a foam starts forming. Boiling any longer will begin to evaporate the alcohol - decreasing amount of liquid left

  3. Stir in 1 Cup of sugar, 8oz of clover honey, and 2 Cups of water

  4. Turn heat high, stirring frequently to keep honey and sugar from sticking to pan

  5. Bring back to a boil, then decrease heat to medium

  6. Simmer for 8-12 minutes. The longer you keep the mixture on the heat, the denser it becomes

  7. Take off the stove and let the mixture cool down
