ACTIVE TIME: 5 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour 15 minutes

Procedure

  • Assemble your immersion circulator, setting the water to 160℉.
  • Put all the ingredients in a heavy-duty zip-top freezer bag and seal, removing as much air as possible.
  • When the bath hits 160℉, add the bag and cook for 1 hour.
  • When the cook time is almost up, fill a large bowl with ice and water. Carefully extract the bag from the bath and submerge it in the ice bath to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Once cool, strain the liqueur and store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
