Composition / ingredients
Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
This is the simplest recipe for plum tincture. It is simple not only in the method of preparation, but also in composition. Because it consists of only two ingredients: the plum itself and vodka. It is better to take a well-ripe sweet plum (since the tincture is prepared without sugar), but not overripe, otherwise the plum will begin to disintegrate during infusion and spoil the taste of the drink. Vodka should be taken from a trusted manufacturer to avoid counterfeiting and poisoning with a homemade drink.
Step 2:
We sort out the fresh plum, remove the garbage, twigs, leaves, rotten and damaged berries, rinse thoroughly under running water.
Step 3:
We throw it into a colander and let the water drain completely. Plum berries do not need to be cut and the seeds removed, firstly, to avoid turbidity of the mixture and spoilage of the tincture, and secondly, thanks to the plum seeds, the tincture will acquire a pleasant almond flavor.
Step 4:
We put the washed plum berries in clean jars, it is better to take three-liter jars to prepare a larger amount of drink with less time. We put the berries in a jar in such an amount that the entire volume specified in the ingredients of vodka can be poured into the jar, and that it covers the drain by several centimeters. We close the jar tightly with a lid and put it in a dark place for a month and a half.
Step 5:
After the specified time, the tincture is filtered through gauze folded in several layers. Berries from the tincture can not be thrown away, the plum can be used for baking or cooking any desserts for adults. The filtered tincture is bottled and tightly corked. We put it in a dark, cool place for storage.
Step 6:
We serve homemade plum tincture to the festive table. This drink with a tart plum flavor and pleasant almond notes will appeal to both men and women. Enjoy your meal!
