Other Ingredients you will need to add 
Hot water and if making an alcoholic liqueur, 850ml of 40% ABV distilled spirit or Vodka.

How to make:
To make 1.5 Litres of zero carb, zero sugar Amaretto Liqueur, simply
1)  Take 365ml hot 60°C water (Hint: do not use boiling 100°C water)
2)  Slowly add 320g Liqueur base pack contents while stirring with a whisk/stick blender.
3)  Rest the base 15 mins, before stirring in the 50ml Top Shelf Amaretto Flavour bottle.
4)  If making an alcoholic version, slowly stir in 850ml of 40% ABV Vodka.
5)  Then top up with cold water to 1.5 Litres if required.

In case you were wondering, yes due to the hydration of the base mixture, this combination makes more ml of liqueur than the back of the flavour bottle indicates.

Best tasting
Minimum 1 hour after making but your patience will be hugely rewarded if you wait.
The best time to taste and use is 24 hours after being made.

Why? Time allows softening of alcohol, so less harsh, the sweetness rounds out, the flavour merges together and thickness stabilises. This liqueur, just like wisdom, improves over time.
