After straining three times, I’m still left with this milky white liqueur. Supposedly, if you repeatedly strain this liqueur it will become clear. I’m using an ultra-fine filter. I don’t even know where to find a finer filter. Hmmm…. I think I’m stuck with this milky white nog. Good thing […]

Such pretty color …when it’s raw. Then, you apply some heat and it turns into wet mess. It’s not hard to make red cabbage taste yummy. But, it’s nearly impossible to make it LOOK yummy.
