Christmas Pudding Vodka
Ingredients:
1-litre bottle vodka
1 tbsp dark muscovado sugar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 cinnamon sticks
1 star anise
50g raisins
50g almonds, roughly chopped
peel from one large orange, scrubbed
peel from one large lemon, scrubbed
8 cloves
Directions:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a suitably large bottle or containers. Ensure all containers are sterilised by running through a dishwasher cycle or washing thoroughly then warming in a low oven.

2. Shake or turn the containers once a week for about two months.

3. About two weeks before drinking, strain through a fine sieve and/or coffee filter paper.

4. Once the two weeks are up, decant to pretty bottles and either offer them as Christmas gifts or keep them all to yourself.
