Lithuanian Krupnikas Recipe - (2.6/5) image

Provided by SewingDragonfly

Number Of Ingredients 16

10 cardamom seeds
1/2 nutmeg pod
2 tsp caraway seed
10 whole cloves
10 whole allspice berries
4 (3") cinnamon sticks
2 tsp whole peppercorns
1 pinch crushed saffron threads (optional)
2 (1") pieces fresh ginger root
2 (1") pieces fresh turmeric (yellow ginger)
3 large strips of orange zest
3 large strips of lemon zest
4 cups water
1 T vanilla extract
2 pounds honey
1 quart 190 proof grain alcohol

Steps:

  • Crack the cardamom seeds and nutmeg with a heavy skillet on a cutting board. Toss them into a saucepan with the rest of the ingredients including the water. Bring to a boil. Cover, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Strain out spices, and set the liquid aside. Pour honey into a large pot, and bring to boil over medium heat. Skim off any foam from the top. Stir in the strained spice liquid and the vanilla extract. Remove from heat and place far from the stove to avoid any flare-ups from the grain alcohol. Slowly stir in the alcohol. Place the pot back on the burner over low heat and cover. Heat through, being careful not to boil or even simmer. Remove from heat and let stand overnight with the lid on. The following day, pour the liquid into sterile bottles, seal, and allow to settle for 2 weeks. The longer you let it sit the clearer it will become and the better it tastes. Serve warm.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but I really liked this soup. The barley gave it a nice texture and the flavors were great.

I didn't like this soup at all. It was too thick and the flavors didn't blend well together.

This soup is a little bland for my taste. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.
