Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients for strawberry tincture. In addition to strawberries and an alcoholic base, we will add sugar to the drink so that the tincture turns out to be dessert, with sweetness. Alcohol or vodka can be used as an alcohol-containing base, depending on the strength of the drink you want to get.
Step 2:
The drink will turn out even tastier and healthier if you use strawberries from your plot grown without chemical fertilizers. For tincture, you can use both fresh and frozen or dry strawberries. The berries are thoroughly washed under running water, remove the stems, rotten and spoiled berries, throw them into a colander, let the water drain completely. Strawberries, if the berries are large, cut into quarters or halves.
Step 3:
Put strawberries and sugar in a clean glass container, it is better to use dishes for making a dark-colored drink. Fill the contents of the container with vodka so that it covers the berries by a couple of centimeters. We close the container with strawberries tightly with a nylon lid and put it in a dark place at room temperature. Regularly, at least once every three days, the jar with the strawberry tincture should be shaken so that the sugar dissolves.
Step 4:
We keep the tincture for about 45 days. After the specified time, the tincture is filtered through gauze, folded in several layers. To make the drink more transparent, a piece of cotton wool can be laid between the layers of gauze. The drink is ready, the strength of the tincture is about 26 degrees, but the strength of the drink depends on the degree of alcoholic base. Berry cake from tincture can be used for baking or desserts for adults.
Step 5:
We pour the tincture into bottles and seal them. You can store such a drink in a dark, cool place for about 3 years. If desired, you can diversify the taste of strawberry tincture, enriching it with a citrus aftertaste, adding lemon zest to the number of ingredients when cooking, or creating light notes of oak in the taste, using cognac as an alcoholic base.
Step 6:
The drink can be served to the festive table. In addition, the tincture can be used as a medicine, and in the presence of any diseases it is necessary to use in small doses, it is better to consult with your doctor. Enjoy your meal!
