To prepare homemade alcohol or vodka tincture, blueberries should be carefully selected. Only those that are fully ripe and do not have any mold or rot will do. You can also use the blueberries that have been frozen or dried, there is no need to take only fresh for the drink.

If you use just such previously frozen blueberries, then before directly infusing them, you must completely defrost them and make sure that all the water is glass. If this is not done, then the drink resulting from insisting on alcohol will be greatly diluted, and an unpleasant aftertaste may also appear.

Dried blueberries should be used in half the amount required by the original recipe.

It is also impossible to crush it - the tincture will turn out to be cloudy, while it will take a lot of effort to filter it to an acceptable result - and even then a good result may not be achieved.

Alcohol (40-50 degrees), vodka and cheap cognacs are suitable as optimal alcoholic bases. It is also good to use moonshine, which must be thoroughly cleaned.

Blueberry tincture is a truly Russian dessert alcoholic drink. Now it's hard to say when our ancestors began to cook it. However, we can say with complete confidence that if you consume such alcohol in moderation, it will not only be tasty, but also good for your health.

In addition, making such alcohol at home is not difficult at all. Anyone can easily cope with this task. The main thing is your desire and the right ingredients.

Classic recipe

We need the following components:

• ripe blueberries - 700 grams;
• high-quality vodka - 1 liter.

To make the tincture really aromatic and tasty, you should carefully consider the choice of blueberries. Exceptionally ripe berries are suitable for us. They must be carefully and carefully sorted out in order to discard all spoiled ones.

If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can also use frozen and dried berries. Of course, this will not affect the final taste of the drink for the better, but it will not become critical.

There are two approaches to making blueberry tincture. First, you can crush the berries. This, on the one hand, will make the alcohol a little more delicious. But on the other hand, the tincture will turn out cloudy. In such a situation, it will be almost impossible to make it transparent. Secondly, you don't have to crush the berries. By doing so, you will end up with a beautiful, clear drink.

Correct actions during cooking.

1. Rinse the blueberries thoroughly and transfer them to a 3 liter jar. Pour vodka there, stir gently and seal hermetically with a plastic lid.

2. Transfer the jar to the pantry room and insist there for 15-17 days. Shake the drink vigorously every third day.

3. Strain the alcohol through a cotton-gauze filter.

This completes the traditional blueberry liqueur. You can proceed to the tasting.

Store alcohol in any tightly closed glass container in a cool place. If these recommendations are followed, the shelf life of the product will be about 3 years.

• ripe blueberries - 700 grams;
