    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly wash the unripe green walnuts and cut them in half or into quarters. Place them in a large, clean jar.

    2

    Add the cinnamon stick, vanilla bean, and cloves to the jar.

    3

    Pour the pálinka over the ingredients, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a dark, cool place for 6 weeks. Shake the jar daily to help the flavors meld together.

    4

    After 6 weeks, strain the liqueur through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the walnut pieces and spices.

    5

    In a saucepan, combine the sugar with a little water to create a syrup. Heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, then let it cool completely.

    6

    Mix the strained liqueur with the cooled sugar syrup. Pour into sterilized bottles and let it rest for another 1-2 weeks to allow the flavors to fully develop.
