Method

Preparation of Rakomelo Kallikuni

  1. 1

    Mix the Base Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the Raki (or Tsipouro), honey, and water. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Add the cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise, and orange peel to the mixture in the saucepan.

  3. 3

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Do not let it boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

  5. 5

    Strain the Mixture

    After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the liquid into a clean container, discarding the solid spices.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Let the Rakomelo Kallikuni cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

Garnishing

  1. 7

    Add Nuts and Cinnamon Powder

    If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts and cinnamon powder on top of each serving before enjoying.
