DIY Drambuie

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon fresh picked rosemary leaves
• 3/4 cup blended Scotch

Procedures

1. 1
   Break up the fennel seeds using a mortar and pestle or under a heavy skillet. Cook the honey, water, fennel, and rosemary over medium heat stirring frequently, until it is integrated into a syrup, about 5 minutes. Let cool, with the fennel and rosemary still in the pot. Scrape off any white foam.
2. 2
   Once the syrup has cooled, pour liquid (with the fennel and rosemary still in it) into a sealable glass jar. Add Scotch, seal, and shake. Steep for 3 days at room temperature. Strain. Liqueur can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
