--------------Phil's Krupnick Recipe----------------
3 pounds (4 cups) Honey
2 teaspoons   Vanilla extract
2 cups   Water
1 teaspoons   ground cloves
2 teaspoons   ground cinnamon
1 teaspoons   ground nutmeg
1 Large   lemon, sliced ¼" thick, then in half
1½ cups   Grain Alcohol (190 proof, Everclear)
1½ cups   Brandy
    Cinnamon Sticks


    Combine Water & Honey in sauce pan
    Boil for 20 minutes (skim foam from top)

    Add cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon, simmer for 20 minutes.

    Add 3 cinnamon sticks
    Remove from heat, allow to cool.

    Add Vanilla

    Add 1 cup grain alcohol
    Add 1 cup brandy
    Mix and place in 2 liter sada bottle (include all spices and lemon)
    Add more grain alcohol & brandy to top the bottle off.

    Let the mixture 'age' for 2 months, at room temperature.
    Shake it to mix when you can.

    Do not mix for the last 2 weeks to let the spices settle to bottom.

    Decant mixture. (Note: Lemon Peel can be chocolate coated!)
    Mix in additional brandy and grain alcohol and/or water to obtain desired 'kick', proof and thickness
    (Optionally, place back into bottle, and allow spices to settle again for 2 weeks)
    (Also, the 'sludge' at the bottom of the original container can have some brandy added to it, mixed and
    then settled for one additional week.  Decant off the clear liquid and add to the originally decanted mixture.)

    Taste and adjust mixture with additional brandy. Place in dispensing bottles and add 1 cinnamon stick.

    Allow to 'age' an additional 2+ weeks before serving.
