Homemade Angelica Liqueur (Jagendorf) Recipe

Miscellaneous Untried Recipes

This is from a collection of recipes from books I own, but which I haven't myself tried yet. However, you can have faith that at least the authors themselves have tried them, so they're not deadly or anything.

These recipes are probably much closer to Galliano® than Benedictine®.

From Folk Wines, Cordials & Brandies, by M.A. Jagendorf:

• 1 qt. pure alcohol (190 proof) [other, weaker spirits can be used, but don't dilute them]
• 1 glass water (or more, to dilute the alcohol)
• 1/2 to 1 qt angelica leaves, cut with scissors or crushed well by hand
• approx. 1 pound sugar (or more to taste)
• 1 stick cinnamon
• 6 cloves

Mix all together in gallon jar. Cover tightly, shaking the mixture a few times. Stand in a cool, dark place for 2 months. Filter, strain and bottle.
