I think the 2 tablespoons of cloves I used was probably to much. So, that's the first recipe down. Time to use it up! If any one is interested I could send a sample. Whole cloves? I am up to version 9 now and have reduced my clove level down to about 10 whole cloves that I crack up a bit (a couple of good whacks with a bar spoon). That is to my tastes, there are many others who tell me I need more clove. I garnish their drinks with a clove and that seems to make them happy. I suggest you have a few friends over for cocktails and serve drinks that feature your newly made Falernum. And you can bottle up some for them to take home. That gives you some more opinions on your recipe as well as reduces your inventory a bit faster so you can start on your version 2.
