Tuaca - Handmade

Homemade Tuaca

1 750 ml bottle brandy

2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise

Zest of 2 tangerines

Zest of 1 grapefruit

1 3 inch cinnamon stick

1/2 cup simple syrup

Pour the brandy into a clean container and add vanilla beans and zests. Let sit 1 week, then add cinnamon stick and simple syrup. After 1 more week of infusing, strain out all ingredients, reserving the vanilla beans. Drop the beans into a clean bottle, then fill with the brandy mixture. (Note: to make simple syrup, bring equal amounts sugar and water to a boil until sugar dissolves.)
