- 750 ml 151 proof grain alcohol (Everclear)

- 1 liter water
- 2 cups clover honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp orange extract
- 2 tsp lemon extract
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 12 cloves
- 3 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Crush the dry ingredients in a mortar and pestle or in a bag with a hammer. Add to a French press with the 1.5 tbsp loose tea. You can also boil the water in a kettle or pot, then add the dry ingredients.
- Bring the water to a boil, add to the dry ingredients and brew for 10 minutes. Pour hot tea solution into a pitcher, add honey, orange and lemon extracts and mix.
- Allow to cool to luke warm before adding alcohol and mixing. Funnel into large bottles and cap.
- Let the bottles sit for at least a few weeks, in a dark, cool place for gravity pull the sediment to the bottom. Siphon the clear amber liquid out the bottles using small tubing (a process similar to racking wine) into new bottles or decanters. Take the all cloudy remains, consolidate it into a separate bottle and allow that to settle again before siphoning again. Depending upon how well you siphon (and the amount of sediment you’re willing to put up with), you may need to re-rack the liqueur a few times.
