I have taken the photos for this post ages ago, and I would have waited a bit longer if I had not seen KyotoFoodie's blogpost about Quince liquor. I find it interesting that some recipes are rather universal. In France, sour cherries are commonly used for making liquor ('cerises a l'eau de vie', my favorite!), and although we had quince in the garden, we never made liquor with it, instead we made jelly and paste with it. However I have tasted some Quince eau de vie in Strasbourg, and I consider it my favorite alcohool, it is so tasty!! So in this post, I'll give you a recipe to make your own cointrea. You need - 1 ORGANIC orange (or a few kumkat or a few smaller citrus) - 1 preserve jar - strong alcohol (eau de vie) - sugar (1/3rd of the volume of alcohol) - 1 bit of kitchen string Pour the alcohool in the jar with the sugar, then suspend the fruit(s) above the alcohol - without direct contact - then place in a dark place for 3 months, that's it! You can use the fruit(s) cut in little pieces in crepes or pancakes, it is delicious!

Make a sweet and citrusy sparkling wine using elderflowers, lemon juice, and a few other ingredients. Yields approx. 4.5 liters (152 fl. oz) that is best served chilled on a lovely summer's day. The process of making elderflower champagne begins with picking fresh elderflowers, infusing them in sugar, and then using the sugar to make a sweet liquid that you ferment using sparkling wine or champagne yeast. The black tea in the recipe gives the sparkling wine body and structure and the tea itself cannot be tasted in the final recipe.
