That's good to know you've tasted, er, uh, tested it with your camp stove.

I bought it several years ago to use as a base for flavored "Liqueurs". They actually turned out pretty darn good.

I made Liqueurs with lemon, lime, orange and tangerine zest, but my main goal was to make "Rosolio", an Italian Rose Liqueur. It turned out ok, but it wasn't near as good as a taste I got about 17 years ago of some made in Sicily about 15 years before then. A restaurant owner bought it on a trip to Sicily and it had sat on a shelf behind the bar unopened all that time. My wife and I were the first to ever ask to taste it. It taste like the sweetest rose you've ever stopped to smell. You can't buy it the States. No one imports it. I made some as a Valentine gift for my wife about 4-5 years ago. You drink it from Chocolate Shot Glasses and eat them when your finished, then the fun begins <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I took some of the orange liqueur on a backpack trip a few years ago and mixed it with "Constant Comment Tea". That was pretty tasty and it's a lot lighter than beer <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So, I agree, phat, it certainly has some valuable uses <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
