Coffee Creamer

This beautiful recipe is from my sister! After listening to her say making coffee creamer at home was so easy and not believing it for years, it was a little funny to finally give her recipe a go and discover that she was not wrong. (Sorry, little sister! I should have believed!)

Chinese(ish) Slivovitsa

Slivovitsa (сливовица), also known as slivovitz and sliv'yanka, is a plum brandy most commonly produced in the Balkans, but known throughout Eastern and Central Europe. Although genuine slivovitsa is made by distilling plums with yeast, sugar, and an assortment of other ingredients, slivovitsa can also be made with plums, vodka (or another grain alcohol), sugar, and so on. This recipe is of the latter variety.
