Delicious blackcurrant liqueur

And it's very easy to prepare. I offer housewives my homemade recipe with step-by-step photos taken.

Ingredients:

• black currant – 1 kg;
• vodka – 0.5 l (cognac is possible);
• granulated sugar - 300 gr.

How to make blackcurrant liqueur at home

For making our homemade drink, I specifically chose slightly overripe currants. Well-ripened berries will not add excess acid to the liqueur. And so, first we wash the currants, pouring them into a sieve or colander.

Then, we sort through and remove the remaining twigs and leaves.

We take a three-liter bottle, pour a layer of berries into it and sprinkle sugar on top.

Thus, we alternate layers until the ingredients run out. After this, add vodka to the bottle.

Don't worry, the sugar won't dissolve completely at first. It will dissolve during the process of infusing currant liqueur, gradually. It will infuse for four weeks. First, put the bottle in the sun on the windowsill and shake it vigorously every day. Just vigorous shaking will help us dissolve the sugar.

Infuse the blackcurrant liqueur with vodka for another two weeks in a dark place, shaking the bottle every four days.

Now, all we have to do is strain the liquor. I usually strain it twice.The first time I strain through cotton wool, and the second time through gauze folded in four.

Homemade currant liqueur turned out very tasty and aromatic.

We quickly cool it and invite friends to a tasting. It is better to store homemade blackcurrant liqueur in a glass bottle for no more than two to three years.
