Homemade Chocolate (Vargas and Gulling) 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.


From Cordials From Your Kitchen by Pattie Vargas and Rich Gulling:

Make a simple syrup by bringing the sugar and water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. When clear, remove from heat and let stand until just warm. Pour into a clean 1-quart container and add brandy, vodka, flavoring and coloring [optionally]. Cover and shake vigorously to blend. Let stand in a cool, dark place for 1 month before serving.


Units of measurement (unless stated otherwise)
1 cup = 8 ounces = 236ml
1 quart = 32 ounces = 944ml
1 tbsp (tablespoon) = 1/2 ounce = 15ml
1 fifth = 25.6 ounces = 750ml
1 tsp (teaspoon) = 1/6 ounce = 5ml
1 pint = 16 ounces = 472ml
