Cranberry tincture on moonshine

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 14 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make cranberry tincture with moonshine at home? Prepare the necessary ingredients. It is believed that frozen cranberries are best suited for infusion. It must be defrosted first. Place the defrosted cranberries in a colander and rinse under running water. If the cranberries initially contain a lot of plant debris (twigs or leaves), it would be better to sort them out first. The water should drain from the berries.

2. STEP 2

   

   Using a mortar pestle or mashed potato masher, mash all the berries to release more juice from the cranberries. Be careful, cranberries are a very juicy berry and splash a lot of juice. In order not to filter the drink before drinking, you can not crush the cranberries with a pestle, but pierce each berry with a thick needle or awl. This way the drink will be almost transparent. But I don't have the patience for this.

3. STEP 3

   

   Transfer the cranberries to a tall carafe in which you are planning to prepare the tincture.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour granulated sugar into the carafe.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour purified double-distilled moonshine, 40 (ideally 45) degrees, into the decanter for the cranberries. Shake the drink until the sugar dissolves a little.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover the decanter with a paper towel folded several times and tie the neck tightly with twine or an elastic band. Leave the tincture in a cool place for two weeks. After the specified time, filter the tincture through gauze or cotton wool and be sure to squeeze out the cake. Serve the tincture chilled. Enjoy your tasting!
