Another recipe from The
Bible of Homemade Italian Liqueurs.
Ingredients
1 L of Everclear 190 proof
20 sunflowers
12 saffron threads
4 ½ cups of sugar
1 L of water
This liqueur is beautifully bright yellow, smooth and sweet, full bodied with flavors of sunflower, hay, grapefruit and a dry herbal finish. As with any floral liqueur your taste buds may find the flavor a little odd at first. The dryness and the finish literally does taste like your drinking sunflowers. I found it exceptionally pleasant and very refreshing and it added a bit of summer sunshine to my cold winter.
