00:00Here are three gifts that you need to start making right now for the holidays.
00:02First up, infused cherries. Start by putting your cherries right into a jar.
00:05Next, add your sugar. You can use any liquor here, but I'm going to use vodka.
00:08Close the lid and give it a shake. Now you just store it in a cool dark place for about
00:11one to four months.
00:11And when they're ready, you have the perfect holiday treat for your friends and co-workers.
00:14Next up, homemade vanilla extract. Start by splitting open your vanilla beans.
00:17Place your vanilla beans into a jar and cover with vodka.
00:20Now you can store this in your cabinet or your pantry, but make sure to shake it once a week
00:23for three weeks.
00:23Then it's ready to serve.
00:24This is a perfect gift for the holidays because people are baking, they're making cookies,
00:27and it's perfect to have that little homemade touch in every bite.
00:30Saving the best for last, we're making homemade coffee liqueur.
00:32First up, four cups of water, four cups of sugar.
00:34Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
00:37Remove from heat and stir in your coffee granules. Let it cool for about 30 minutes.
00:40Once it's cooled, add your vanilla and your vodka.
00:43Now you can pour it into bottles and keep them stored in a cool dark place.
00:46This is the perfect gift for your friends who love an espresso martini, a white Russian,
00:49anything that has coffee liqueur in it. So what are you waiting for?
