Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
To prepare this tincture, you will need: kalgan root, licorice, honey, coffee beans and moonshine.
Step 2:
Pour dried kalgan rhizomes into a clean, dry container.
Step 3:
Add a teaspoon of crushed dry licorice (in another way it is also called licorice).
Step 4:
It's time to add whole coffee beans. You do not need to grind them, they will perfectly give the tincture all their flavor.
Step 5:
After that, add a teaspoon of liquid honey to the container. If you have candied honey, it must first be melted in a water bath.
Step 6:
And the last step: pour the resulting dry mixture with moonshine.
Step 7:
Mix the future tincture thoroughly and close the container with a lid or paper napkin. Leave the tincture to ripen for at least seven days, and ideally - ten or more days.
Step 8:
This is how kalganovka should look on the third day of infusion. Mix the contents thoroughly once every day for a better mixing of all the ingredients.
Step 9:
Before serving, the tincture must be filtered. To do this, take a strainer and four cosmetic cotton pads. Spread the cotton pads on the bottom. Place the strainer on the funnel. And strain the tincture into the bottle or decanter in which you plan to store the drink.
Kalganovka (or kelganovka) is prepared on the basis of not only dry, but also fresh roots of such a perennial herbaceous plant as lapchatka erect. She's a kalgan.
Kalgan is widely distributed in Russia.
Therefore, if you want to get a fresh root of this plant, be extremely careful and careful, because kalgan looks very much like a buttercup. And the buttercup, in turn, is extremely poisonous!
The main difference between these plants is that the kalgan has four petals, and the buttercup has five.
Plus kalgan leaves look like hemp leaves. But even knowing these distinctive features, you can easily make a mistake with the choice.
Therefore, I prefer not to take risks, and just buy a kalgan at the nearest pharmacy.
Store the kalganovka in the refrigerator or other cool dark place.
And remember: excessive alcohol consumption has a negative effect on health. Everything should be in moderation. Have a pleasant tasting!
