Homemade Gluten Free Chocolate Liqueur

Ingredients:

• 1 ounce unsweetened, gluten-free baking chocolate
• 1/3 + 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup Gluten-Free Vodka*

Instructions:

1. Add chocolate, sugar, and water to a heat-proof bowl over 2-inches of hot simmering water. When the chocolate begins to melt stir until it fully melts.
2. Using a mesh strainer, drain into a glass container, and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
3. Add vodka and stir.
4. Line a clean mesh strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth. Strain mixture again into a glass jar. Using a spoon, push chocolate granules to the side, allowing the liquid to easily drain into the container.
5. Set aside at room temperature to cool completely. Add vanilla, cover, and shake.
6. Store at room temperature for at least 2 days for use in cooking or baking, 1 week or longer for drinking. Shake before using. You may need to strain it again.
7. Serve straight up, over ice, with cream (layered or blended), or in chocolate martinis. You can also use it to make dessert fillings, cakes, or coffee. Multiply recipe as needed.
