SPOTYKACH

Spotykach is a Ukrainian nastoyanka (sort of tincture) liqueur. This recipe I've tested a couple of times already. With a very intensive taste of spices, it makes either a nice gift or a treat for your guests in the Christmas season.

SPOTYKACH
1/2 tbsp cinnamon 1 tbsp clove 1/2 tbsp saffron (not sure if this amount changes anything, possibly one could try and skip it) 10 g nutmeg 20 g vanilla (actually I normally use vanillin sugar which is cheaper) 1/2 l vodka 2 glasses sugar
For 2-4 weeks infuse the spices in vodka and shake the substance everyday. Then filter it through gauze (or whatever fabric). The original recipe I used advised to boil the whole thing after filtering and then filter it again, which I never did, and it was still fine.
