Remember

This December,

That love weighs more than gold!

Nothing beats homemade stuff be it cookies,cakes or even liqueur. I must say that this is my first attempt at making a liqueur at home. But now I feel like kicking myself for not trying earlier! :P Anyway, it's better late than never ;)

I have seen quite a number of recipes online but never got around to trying out one. But in a recent conversation I had with an aunt of mine, she mentioned that she makes an after-dinner drink. I never let go of a chance of noting down a tried & tested recipe. So I got the recipe from her made it immediately.
