Borodino tincture on moonshine

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients. The basis of the drink is moonshine, and it must be of high quality, preferably self-made and double distilled. Only after the second distillation, the moonshine loses its moonshine flavor - this is necessary in this recipe, because the finished tincture will have to have a bright aroma of Borodino bread. It is also allowed to replace moonshine with vodka, but it must also be of high quality, from Luxury or Alpha alcohol.

2. Step 2:

   

   Go through the pearl barley. Here we have two options: to wash the pearl barley or not. In the event that you do not wash the pearl barley, the finished tincture will turn out a little cloudy, but in the classic recipe, the pearl barley is not washed. If you decide to rinse, then dry it well. Fry the grits well in a hot frying pan. The richer the color of the fried pearl barley, the darker the tincture will be. Cool the pearl barley. Classic pearl barley can be replaced with barley.

3. Step 3:

   

   Pour fried pearl barley into the glass jar where you will insist the drink.

4. Step 4:

   

   Then add coriander seeds - it is also necessarily used in the preparation of Borodino bread, so it is added to the tincture of the same name. Coriander may be ground, but in this case you will have to strain the finished drink through several layers of gauze.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add cumin. As with coriander, the addition of ground cumin is allowed.

7. Step 6:

   

   Fill everything with moonshine. The strength of moonshine should be 45-55 degrees.

8. Step 7:

   

   Close the jar and put it in a dark place for 2-3 weeks until the drink darkens and a clear bread flavor appears. Every 2-3 days it is necessary to shake the contents of the jar.

9. Step 8:

   

   Strain the finished tincture through a fine sieve or through several layers of gauze. especially if you added ground spices.

10. Step 9:
