It's a big hit in my family, I get requests for it every year around Christmas. The key to this is to get your syrup thick before adding the vodka-this is what makes it indistinguishable from Di Saronno, at a much reduced cost.
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups vodka
2 tablespoons almond extract (not imitation)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Combine water and sugars in a very large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Heat until the mixture is boiling and all sugar is dissolved.
3. Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for approximately 2 hours until mixture is thickened and syrupy and lightly coats a spoon.
4. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
5. Add vodka and extracts and stir well.
6. Pour into a bottle and seal.
