Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Base: In a large pot, pour the apple cider and add both sugars. Stir well until the sugars are dissolved completely.
-
Infuse with Flavors: Add the cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and allspice berries to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes to infuse the flavors.
-
Cool Down: Once the mixture is nicely infused, remove the pot from the heat. Let it cool to room temperature before moving on to the next step.
-
Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract. This will add a lovely depth of flavor to your moonshine.
-
Strain and Store: Using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture to remove all the spices and any remaining solids. Transfer the clear liquid into a clean, airtight container or mason jars for storage.
-
Let It Rest: Seal the container and let the moonshine sit in a cool, dark place for at least a week to allow the flavors to meld and develop further.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once your moonshine has matured, it's time to pour yourself a glass and savor the fruits of your labor. Enjoy it neat or over ice for a smooth and flavorful experience.
