Cherry is a very tasty berry that is suitable not only for jam and compotes, but also for making homemade alcoholic beverages. It goes well with any alcohol base.
For the preparation of tincture on cherries, you can take not only fresh berries. You can use frozen berries or dried cherries.
As an alcohol base, you can use vodka, alcohol or moonshine, but just make sure that there are no foreign impurities in the drink, otherwise they will spoil the taste of the finished drink.
The healing properties of cherries were addressed in ancient times. It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, expectorant and antiseptic effects. Useful properties are also preserved in the tincture.
There are, of course, options for making cherry drinks with pits, but I recommend, nevertheless, removing them. The prussic acid and amygdalin contained in the bones negatively affect our body. Therefore, it is better not to take risks.
