Ingredients

• 250 ml Vodka
• 4 tablespoons Honey
• 250 ml Water
• 1 piece Cinnamon stick
• 6 pieces Cloves
• 4 pieces Allspice berries
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 strip Orange peel
• 1 piece Star anise

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves, allspice berries, star anise, nutmeg, and orange peel.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the honey dissolves completely.

Step 3

Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the liquid.

Step 4

Add the vodka to the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Heat gently for 2–3 minutes but do not let the mixture come to a boil, as this will burn off the alcohol.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the spices and orange peel.

Step 7

Pour the hot Krupnik into heatproof glasses or mugs and serve immediately.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish with a cinnamon stick or a slice of orange for an added touch.
