Can’t get Cinnamon out of my head!
Mmmmmm cinnamon. I love cinnamon. It makes me think of tea, cinnamon rolls, desserts of all kind, pumpkin pie, various coffee drinks and winter time. Can't you just smell it?
I can smell it, and I can taste it! I can't get it out of my mind! That is why the next Liqueurs I make will all be cinnamon based. In fact I have been doing some research on Cinnamon liqueur and schnapps recipes and I decided to make at least three variant cinnamon liqueurs. There are too many options and I wish I could afford the alcohol to make ten batches. There are several types of cinnamon to use, including: Indonesian cinnamon, Saigon cinnamon, Ceylon cinnamon or the common cassia that everyone here in the USA uses in baked goods.
There are also a lot of spices that would go great with cinnamon like allspice, coriander, cloves or nutmeg, and then there are various fruits, berries, it is all just too much. Anyway I will have to man up, make a decision and get to steeping my ingredients. I'll let you know what I decide in the coming weeks. I hope in the mean time you will experiment with some cinnamon liqueur as well. Let me know if you do!
