Marzipan Amaretto Liqueur

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 400 g marzipan paste, finely diced
• 600 ml milk
• 250 ml Amaretto
• 75 ml liqueur (Licor 43)

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

liquid liqueur without cream, makes approx. 0.9 liters

Dice the marzipan into small cubes and place in a saucepan. Add the milk and heat while stirring until the marzipan dissolves (the milk is usually already quite warm). I also use a hand blender to help things along. Let it cool slightly and place a large, fine sieve over a large bowl or similar and line it with a tea towel. Slowly pour the mixture into the sieve and sieve out the almond pieces while stirring. At the end, I wring out the cloth to get as much of the milk as possible. I then measure the volume of the marzipan milk with a measuring jug, which usually results in between 550 ml and 575 ml. Now slowly stir in the Amaretto and Licor 43 (if you get significantly less marzipan milk, adjust the alcohol content accordingly). Pour the liqueur into clean glass bottles and store in the refrigerator.
