Yield: One .75 litre of Yellowfoot Chanterelle flavored vodka
Servings: 10 Servings
Calories: 176kcal
Cost: 5
Ingredients
- 4 oz or so fresh chanterelle mushrooms small mushrooms are my favorite but you can use larger ones cut up too
- .75 litres fine vodka
- ½ cup granulated white sugar or to taste (optional) *see note
Instructions
- Clean the chanterelles of debris using a small brush or if they are really filthy, by rinsing quickly under some cold running water.
- Combine the chanterelles and the vodka in an air-tight, nonreactive container, like a glass mason jar. Add the sugar if using and stir until it dissolves. An alternate method would be to just stuff the mushrooms in the bottle after taking a healthy pull, but then they'll be harder to remove.
- Store the mushroom vodka in a cool place away from sunlight for at least 1 week, then refrigerate to keep the aroma and enjoy. The vodka flavor will eventually smooth out and get mild.
Notes
Vodka
Use a type which you would want to drink by itself. I used Prairie vodka, an organic vodka made around Benson Minnesota, its available in many liquor stores in the metro area.Sweetening the liqueur
I use white sugar because it keeps the liqueur clear. If you want to use another sweetener like honey or maple syrup that's ok, but it will change the color or be cloudy.Nutrition
