Drambuie mocktail syrup

Drambuie mocktail syrup is a non alcoholic version of the Drambuie liqueur, which can also be made alcoholic by adding some whiskey or vodka to it. Here I have extracted the flavours from all the ingredients by boiling them in water, then adding sugar to make the syrup. The boiling process will reduce a lot of water as the fennel seeds will absorb the water. 

Ingredients :

Water : 500 ml (may require additional 50 ml )

Sugar : 1 kg

Navel orange peels : of 4 oranges 

Cinnamon : 20 inch pieces 

Fennel seeds : 5 tblsp 

Lemon grass : 10 blades

Ginger : 3 inch piece 

Turmeric : 1 pinch 

Lime : 2

Citric acid : 1/4 tsp

Procedure : 

Take 1/3 of the water in a saucepan, add orange peels, cinnamon, fennel seeds, ginger (crushed / sliced ) and lemon grass (cut); and bring it to a boil, keep it covered and let it simmer for 5 minutes, then switch off the flame and let it steep and release their flavours until it cools down. 

After cooling, strain the liquid into another pot. Then add Add another 1/3 of water to the boiled ingredients, boil them once again, and cool. Then strain this liquid again into the previously strained liquid.

Repeat the process once more so as to extract all the flavours out of the ingredients.  Then strain the liquid and collect it all to achieve a total of 500 ml of liquid. Then add the sugar, pinch of turmeric and strained lime juice and bring it to a boil. 

Then switch off the flame and allow it to cool down. 

After cooling, bottle the syrup into a sterlized glass bottle and keep refrigerated. 

Serving : 

Pour 2 - 3 tblsp of the syrup in a glass along with some additional lime juice then top it with 

1. soda, 

2. orange juice, 

3. water,

4. you could also use it to flavour green / black tea or black coffee. 

5. Or add it to cold milk if you like.

6. You could also add only lime juice and /or a tablespoon of orange juice and enjoy like wine. 

7. Add alcohol of your choice.
