How to Make Amaretto Almond Liqueur

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 2 cups of granulated sugar.
2. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a boil.
3. Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool completely to room temperature (approximately 15-20 minutes).
4. Once cooled, add 1 cup of vodka, 2 teaspoons of almond extract, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the simple syrup.
5. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
6. Pour the mixture into a clean, sterilized glass bottle or jar.
7. Seal tightly with a lid and let the liqueur rest in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, or up to a month for a richer flavor. Shake gently every few days to blend the flavors.
8. After resting, strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth (optional, to remove any sediment).
9. Enjoy your homemade Amaretto! Serve chilled or over ice.
