homebrewing and home winemaking have exploded in popularity in the last twenty years, but making one’s own liqueurs is also easier, faster and much cheaper than, say, buying kahlua at the liquor store.

In this workshop we will discuss the basics of making liqueurs and infusions at home from simple recipe ideas, and we will make three recipes: coconut cream, rosemary, and mint.
