Caraway Brandy

This traditional digestive liqueur infuses warming brandy with the aromatic spice of caraway seeds and the sharp heat of dry ginger powder. Known historically as a remedy to aid digestion, the infusion process over fifteen days allows the essential oils to meld into a potent, flavorful tonic. The resulting spirit carries a sophisticated, spicy profile that can be enjoyed as a digestif after a heavy meal.

Instructions

1In a double boiler, combine the water, brandy, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. This should take about 5 minutes.
2In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Gradually whisk the hot sauce from the double boiler into the egg yolks, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
