Goat Milk Liquor

[Wifeof1]

2 cups goat milk
2 cups sugar
2 cups vodka
Clean oranges, lemons and/or limes, quartered.
Put in a clean container and store in a dark place. Shake well every day for 10 days. Strain and enjoy.
Note: It takes a very long time to strain.

Ok, you have to dish on the recipe. An original, old world, ancient Mesopotamian, do tell.

I am not to knowledgable about liquor.
What is the reason for using goat milk? It seems like a waste of the milk.

I make Kefir with whole milk. The benefits of Kefir are incredible. Lots of Vitamins and Probiotics.
I would think straining the liquor is getting rid of all the goodness.

Furthermore, it might make sense to use a smaller portion of Grain Alcohol rather than Vodka.
I don't know the ultimate purpose. It seems like it misses on the Goat Milk and liquor aspect.

On a similar note, I remember reading about making hard cider and always thought it was a good idea. I haven't drank in years so I never did it. Basically get some apple juice and bakers yeast and ferment the juice. Then on freezing cold days put it outside. The water freezes. Strain off what doesn't freeze and have more potent substance.

Defiantly not original. Dont think it was old world, cause I found the recipe online about 8 years ago.
Sweet cream liquors is a thing. Whatever it gets from the goat milk could most likely be obtained through other types of milk.
With 5 goats freshened, I had A LOT of milk. Up to my eyeballs in cheeses, yogurt, cream and butter, so I decided to try it.
It was very good. Very sweet. Haven't done it again, cause I'm not into booze any more. (I think I aged out.)
I do still make wine on occasion. Moonshine for Christmas gifts.

Now that's a nice set-up.

You can do this with anything that has sugar. 1 bottle, grape juice, sugar, yeast and a balloon. Combine ingredients (there is various methods if you search). Put the balloon on the bottle and wait a few weeks. Had I known about this when I was 16ish.....

There is better methods to achieve better results but that is the basics. My cousins Grandfather used to make peach wine, when my cousin moved into the house there was 5 gallon glass jars filled with it, dark amber color and perfectly clear. That was outstanding but it was more like a liqueur and if I were guessing probably had around 20% alcohol if not more. He had some kind of distillery setup he used during the process. I've had a lot homemade wines but that was by far the best.

I come from a "Waste not - Want not" family. So some of my food and beverage journeys is because I'm afraid a time will come when I may need that food source.
A prime example are eggs. $7.49 a dozen.
The pear and apple wines I use wine yeast. Then run it through the still to make the shine.
I'm up to my eyeballs in apple cider vinegar, and apple pie for breakfast makes me lazy in the morning. So thats the reason behind the boozy creations.

I wish we were neighbors!
I would love some goats milk.
There is a fine line with not enough and excess. The tasks and management keep you active. That is what is important!
