It will completely replace cognac on the festive table - vodka on pine nuts, recipe
It's no secret that pine nuts are very healthy. You can eat them just like that, and they also make the original vodka on pine nuts, the recipe for which is simple, but has some nuances. This is due to the fact that in addition to many vitamins and minerals, small nuts contain many resins. In small amounts, they are also beneficial. An excess of these substances can harm the body, and especially the pancreas. However, if you follow the technology and do everything correctly, you can get a fragrant nutcracker of a noble cognac color.
Vodka on pine nuts - a recipe for an alcoholic drink
- actually the vodka itself in an amount of 500 ml;
- 25 g of nuts;
- 1 tbsp. l. Sahara;
- some vanillin.
You can use store vodka or homemade moonshine in the same amount as indicated in the recipe. Also, nuts insist on alcohol, but not pure. And not only because the nutcracker is too strong. Experts believe that aromatic oils made from nuts are more "given away" in diluted alcohol. In this case, the raw materials for infusion should have a strength of no more than 45 °.
The first step is to slightly clean the tar from the nuts. But for this it is not enough just to rinse them, even with hot water. You need to boil for a couple of minutes, and it is better to do this three times, each time draining the darkened water and pouring the nuts with a new portion of the liquid. The washed nuts should be broken up by crushing the shell so that they better give off their aroma. It remains only to add sugar and vanillin and pour vodka over everything.
The nutcracker is infused for at least 10 days, then it is filtered and the tincture is ready for use. It should turn out golden brown, like cognac, only lighter. And the pleasant taste of the drink will be provided by triple rinsing from tar, and vanillin. Without it, the nutcracker will be too dark, with a bitterness and heavy for the pancreas.
Medicinal tincture of pine nuts on moonshine
For use for medicinal purposes, a more concentrated tincture is prepared, therefore, it is initially taken in drops. Nuts (40 g) also need to be cleaned of tar.
