Ingredients

• 🥃 Plum rakija (or other fruit brandy): 120 ml (½ cup / 4 fl oz)
• 🍬 Sugar (traditional is white; brown adds depth): 25 g (2 tbsp / 0.9 oz)
• 💧 Water: 200 ml (¾ cup + 1 tbsp / 6.8 fl oz)
• 🍋 Lemon peel (wide strip) + 2 thin wheels, to serve: 1 lemon
• 🌿 Whole cloves (optional): 2
• 🌿 Cinnamon stick (optional): 1 small

Preparation

• 1 Caramel base In a small pot over medium heat, melt 🍬 sugar until amber. Carefully add 💧 water (it will sputter) and stir to dissolve.
• 2 Warm & infuse Add 🥃 rakija, 🍋 peel, and spices if using. Heat gently until steaming—do not boil (you’ll lose aroma).
• 3 Serve Strain into heatproof glasses or clay cups. Garnish with a thin 🍋 wheel.
