Ingriedients

Step 1
  • 6-7 Ounces of roasted acorns
Step 2
  • 1 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 1 2/3 cups of water
  • 1/4 of a vanilla pod
Step 3
  • 3 cups of vodka/Rum for a fuller taste

Utensils

Directions

Step 1

Remove the tannins from the acorn by To remove tannic acid, you must leach the acorns with water.  Toss the nuts into a large pot, and cover them with plenty of water.  Bring to a boil, then boil for about 15 minutes.  The water will turn brown, the color of tea, as the tannic acid is extracted from the kernels.  Throw out the water and replace it with fresh water. 

To save time, have a second pot of water already boiling put into the second pot and boil for 15 keep on doing until the water stops turning brown.

Then roast your acorns in the oven for 15 at 400F or till its brown remember the darker and longer they are roasted the heavier taste they will give in comparison to a light to dark roast coffee.

Take out and let cool.

Grind your acorns into small pieces, don’t grind till a thin powder because that wont be strain able.

Step 2

Pour the water into the pot bring to a boil stir in the sugar then add the stick of vanilla, then add in the acorn grounds and let cool.

Step 3

Add the Vodka close and seal the container.

Bottling, Aging, Straining, filtering, and Drinking Your Acorn Liqueur Recipe

Fill some mason jars with this mix. Put them in the fridge for the perfect taste wait a minimum of 2 months.

After 2 months strain the liquid through a cheesecloth squeezing the pulp gently. (don’t do all at once make sure you like the taste when filtered)

It helps to moisten the cheesecloth first so the liquid permeates more smoothly.

Once you get to the point where you have strained everything out, you can gently wring the cheesecloth to extract all of the remaining liquid and juice.

If you still need to strain your liqueur further due to lack of clarity, you can strain it 1 more time through a coffee strainer.

Congratulations, You Have Completed Making this Awesome Acorn Liqueur Recipe!

You now need a bottle and a label which are cool enough to compliment your hard work. Honestly, if you put it into a cheap bottle, people will make fun of you. BUT, if it looks good, people will rave about it!
