 Coarsely chop the almonds by hand or in a food processor ( a blender will


 chop them too fine). This should yield 1 1/3-1 1/2 cups chopped nuts.


 Combine the nuts, vodka, and vnilla bean in a 1 quart Mason jar. Seal the


 jar, shake to mix, and set it aside in a cool, dark place for at least 10


 days.


 


 Strain the liquor through a fine sieve into a 4 cup glass measuring cup and


 discard the residue in the sieve. Rinse the sieve and the Mason jar


 thoroughly. Fit the sieve with a damp coffe filter and strain the flavored


 vodka back into the jar. Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan.


 Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue


 to boil for 2 minutes, until a clear syrup forms. Remove the pan from the


 heat and cool to room temp.


 


 When the syrup is cool , add it to the Mason jar. Add the vanilla and


 glycerin. Seal the jar and shake it gently to blend. The liqueur can be


 transferred to a decanter.


 


 The almond Liqueur should be ready to drink in 2-3 days and has a shelf


 life of 2-3 weeks. NOTES
