How to Make Hot Vodka With Honey Krupnik
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and forms a light caramel.
- Carefully pour in 2 cups of boiling water. Add 1 vanilla bean, split and scraped (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract), 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 4 whole cloves, 1 cinnamon stick (about 3 inches), 6 black peppercorns, and 3 allspice berries.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse.
- Remove from heat and carefully strain the caramel mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean saucepan, discarding the solids.
- Return the strained liquid to the saucepan. Stir in 1/2 cup honey and the zest of 1 orange. Heat gently, stirring frequently, until the honey is completely dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of vodka. Stir to combine.
- Serve warm or chilled. Garnish with an orange slice and a cinnamon stick, if desired.
