A lot closer than the recipe for Falernum I posted previously.

Having the John Taylor's around helped make this one much better.
I'll get even better on the next batch:

zest from 3 limes
juice from small lime
24 cloves
1/8 TSP almond extract
1 cup white rum

Put all of these into a container and cover and let sit for 24 hours.

Strain out the mixture and add 2 3/4 cups of Rock Candy Syrup.

Add 3 level Tablespoons of cloves and whip into mixture.

Let sit 12 hours.
Strain and enjoy.

EDIT: I've been letting the cloves soak to get the closest taste to the Taylor's::EDIT OFF

STILL not as clove-y as the Taylor's.
But closer.
I think I'll try clove oil next time - a few drops or something.

Thanks again, Humuhumu, for the bottle of Velvet.
