I just did this about a month ago. Man was it PEEE-NUTTY! The problem is
that you'll likely get some of the oil in your booze, which while not really
bad, imparts a weird texture. Here's what I did:
1 pint coarsely chopped peanuts
1 liter brandy
1 tsp vanilla
1 cinnamon stick.
Toast the nuts in a skillet, then transfer to a receptacle. Pour the brandy
in while the nuts are still hot. Add remaining ingredients. Shake twice a
day for 10 days. Strain through coffee filters. Add simple syrup to taste.
I think roasting the nuts is where I went awry. Or adding the brandy while
the nuts were still warm.
