Horseradish on alcohol

There are many recipes for cooking homemade horseradish on alcohol. Depending on the ingredients on which the drink is infused, the taste of horseradish turns out to be tart and even slightly bitter (more horseradish. ginger, pepper, mustard) or soft, tender and sweet (the presence of honey, vanillin, fructose, fruit).

Horseradish according to this recipe comes out very strong, but at the same time honey with a citrus aroma.

Pour alcohol with a strength of 45 degrees into a clean bottle or any other glass container.

Wash the horseradish root, dry it and grate it on a coarse grater.

Also come with fresh ginger.

Grated horseradish and ginger fall asleep in a bottle with alcohol.

Crush the cloves with a wooden rolling pin and also throw them into the bottle. Due to the fact that all the ingredients are crushed, the taste of the finished tincture turns out to be more saturated and tart.

Pour nutmeg, a pinch of vanilla and lemon zest into the bottle. Lemon will complement the taste of the drink and give it a pleasant citrus aroma.

In order to sweeten the horseradish and make its taste a little softer, add honey to the bottle with tincture. Honey is very poorly soluble in alcohol-containing products, so you need to make a little effort to stir it well in the bottle. Liquid May honey is best suited for these purposes.

Close the glass container tightly with a lid and mix the contents thoroughly. Put the container in a dark place to infuse for about 10 days.

Mix the contents of the bottle thoroughly every day for a better taste. After the horseradish is sufficiently infused, its aroma will reveal itself more fully and vividly.

After 10 days, clear the tincture from the sediment - to do this, it must be passed through several layers of gauze until it becomes translucent yellowish in color. For these purposes, you can also use a fine sieve or a thick layer of cotton wool.

Put the horseradish in the refrigerator for a couple of days and pass it through cheesecloth again.

After tasting the infused drink, you can adjust its taste. If you like a more tart tincture, you can add pieces of peeled horseradish root to the bottle.

It is best to serve horseradish with lightly salted cucumbers. Bon appetit!
