Home Cookin'

I finally got around to starting my first batch of falernum last night. I'm running low on the Velvet Falernum and bought some jars and bottles at The Container Store to hold my experiments. Last night, I also picked up a bunch of limes and some toasted almonds at Trader Joe's and it was time to start it up. I put about six ounces of Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum into a jar with 40 cloves and a wee bit of crystallized ginger. I'm letting it sit until I get home this afternoon, when I'll add the lime zest and toasted almonds.
