Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
Prepare the ingredients according to the list. Horseradish root should be dug out in late autumn, when it contains the maximum amount of useful substances. So that the tincture does not seem too bitter, and also acquires a pleasant aroma and becomes even more useful, we add liquid fresh lime honey. Moonshine is better to use purified. The main thing is that all products are of high quality.
Step 2:
We clean the horseradish root, it should be vigorous and fragrant. Cut it into small pieces, it is better not to rub the root on a grater, otherwise the drink will become too cloudy.
Step 3:
Put the horseradish root in a glass container for making tincture. Mix honey with moonshine and pour horseradish mixture. We close the container with a rubber lid and put it in a dark, warm place.
Step 4:
We will keep the billet on horseradish for two weeks, this time is enough for all the useful substances and taste from the ingredients to pass into liquid. It is not necessary to insist longer, otherwise the drink will become too bitter. During this period, you need to shake the container with the horseradish root several times for better infusion.
Step 5:
After the specified time, filter the liquid through gauze folded in several layers. Pour the tincture into a glass bottle and send it to ripen in a dark, cool place for another week, you can put it in the refrigerator. The longer the tincture will stand, the better its taste will become, and with prolonged storage, the color of the drink may also change. The shelf life of horseradish is about 5 years, subject to the conditions of its storage. The fuck is ready.
History says that horseradish as an alcoholic medicinal drink was known to Peter I. He forced his soldiers to drink this drink as a cure for colds. And for good reason, because all the useful substances contained in horseradish, and there are not a few of them, are also contained in horseradish tincture. Therefore, such a drink is recommended to be used as a prophylactic against influenza and other viral diseases, diabetes mellitus, urolithiasis, allergies, joint pain and many other diseases. But, like any medicine, such a drink should be consumed after consultation with the attending physician and, of course, in reasonable doses.
