If there’s one downside to 2021’s life-saving vaccine, its that this year you don’t have an excuse to miss the holiday party. Introverts, can I get an amen?! So, since you have to make an appearance at cousin Becky’s ugly sweater soiree, you might as well not come empty handed. Whip up a batch of my Spiced Espresso Liqueur using (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker and get ready to bask yuletide compliments. Added bonus, you’ll be supporting a good cause in the process.

Anova has joined forces with (RED). 5% of the purchase price from all (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cookers will go directly to the Global Fund to fight against global health emergencies. An appliance with a great cause?! Hell. Yes. So, you can literally make everyone’s holiday gift this year, while also supporting the Global Fund. I don’t know about you, but his certainly fills my heart with tidings and joy for the season. Let’s get to the recipe, shall we?! 

Spiced Espresso Liqueur

Time: 3 hrs.; Yields: 8-10 bottles 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 bottle rum
• 6 cups brewed espresso
• 1/2 cup espresso beans (whole)
• 2 1/2 cups granulated cane sugar
• 2 tbs. cardamom (whole)
• 2 tbs. cloves (whole)
• 4 cinnamon sticks
• 6 star anise
• 2 vanilla bean pods 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Fill a large stock pan half way with water. Attach the (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker to the pan. Set the temperature to 145F to let preheat.
2. Add all the ingredients into a large mason jar. Stir and seal closed.
3. Place the mason jar in the water bath and set the (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker timer to 3 hours. Open the jar to stir at least once during the process.
4. Once the time is up, remove the jar from the water bath and let cool on the countertop. Once cool, strain the liquid out and pour into air-tight bottles for gifting. The liqueur is good for up to 6 months.

Thanks to the (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker, this recipe is ridiculously easy to make. All you have to do is throw everything into the water bath and the appliance does the rest. A lot of the ease has to do with Anova’s amazing company philosophies that serve as the core foundation for the product. They believe that their products should bring people together and give them access to the same tools that pros use in the kitchen. Anova also understands that life is demanding, but access to high quality, perfect meals should be. That’s why (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker is so fantastic. With both its excellent temperature and timer settings, you can let all your ingredients hang out in the Sous Vide until mealtime without worrying about them overcooking.

I really can’t emphasize enough how easy the (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker/Nano was to use in the kitchen. To truly understand, you just have to try it out yourself. So make sure to get your own (ANOVA)ᴿᴱᴰ Precision Cooker and support the (RED) foundation while you’re at it. Happy cooking!
