Tincture of black currant buds
"... Amazing tincture on the kidneys of a black currant can be enjoyed only in April, if not be lazy and do it myself. Pure emerald color, mouthwatering flavor, this infusion would, of course, the most precious of all others, but, unfortunately, it cannot be stored. After a while she emerald-green becomes brown, like cognac, and quite loses the scent of black currant leaf, and smells of God knows what..." Vladimir Soloukhin. "The third hunt"

Cooking

step-0
Now ... with all these spring chores almost forgot to tell you about something that was going to make more than one year, but now do regularly. So. Tincture of black currant buds. The reason of the arisen interest? Congenital bad-the lack of trust and memory, or "memory of taste". It was, you know, the thing ... tried. And what's the harm and distrust, you ask? And check what you have told Andrey in his book about "Konchalovku" in connection with the approval of Vladimir Alekseevich Soloukhin, quoted in the epigraph. Titans they titans, but ...!!! So. Have nasial kidneys. Long pinched. Because before the leaves have sprouted. So I had to choose the ones that have not....
step-1
And it is twigs. Decided to try it. Kidney and twigs. Went over and washed of course....
step-2
And then washed. Just washed away the dust, in General. Running cold water. It is we, by the way, though flowing out of the tap, but completely natural. Without any harmful impurities and zapachowych. Well, in General. Here's the picture.
step-3
And in a jar ... bottle. The amount of the kidneys capacity to adjust themselves. You make a tincture. And if you get vigorous, you can always clean vodka to add. Not a problem.
step-4
The kidneys fill with vodka. Vodka should be of very good quality. It is a prerequisite. If you are not sure, then by the mother of Andrey Sergeyevich, clean vodka with potassium permanganate. How? A book should be read....! He says, and repeated boring! Here. Kidneys immediately emerge. Tightly close the pot and put in a cool and dark a better place. All our part on this end. Now just have to wait.
step-5
And twigs filled with alcohol. Will be harder, but there is such a basis. And also in a dark basement. Let stand until ...
step-6
The day, like in the fairy tale, and night – day off! Apart from slightly changed colors, no other metamorphosis did not happen. The smell of vodka, especially alcohol, on the spot. The taste is also a no no.
step-7
And here – it's been three days!!! I went down to the basement. Opened Banco bottle vodovozniy on pochacco tincture. The basement reverberated with the magnificent aroma of currants ... And that color.
step-8
Five days. The color has changed..... Became a little richer... however, it is clear without words. The smell Wuttke does ek!!! Of Banco bottle rushing crazy smorodinovoe aroma of freshness. In General, take pochacco and RUB between the fingers. Much. And then nwhyte. Here it smells like. Dorayme delicious. And already tasty ... but! ... not ready.
step-9
Week. Color – no comments. Right Soloxine. Well, the taste ... ... BUT!!! The main thing – the finish!!! You do not want to eat!!! OH, and good!!! Like young... pretty... bare feet... Vadim – RECOMMEND!!!
step-10
Wmcopydata. With color the same. Aroma. Here's a different picture. Smell of alcohol is clearly felt. In General, flavor yet, so ... a hint of aromatic.
step-11
The decanter with vodka tincture added two hundred grams of vodka to raznosyat taste. Turned out very nice. And delicious. Snacks use traditional it is currently possible. Vodka, after all.
step-12
And, by the way, the rights Soloukhin. Through ... about two weeks begins to brown, precipitate and turns, at the end of the third, in swipes. No matter how clumsy. As Mikhalkov-Konchalovskii his "Konchalovsky" for a year keep and use – I'll never know... although there was talk about tincture on the berries. I'll try this year, then we'll talk. Angel you for a meal!
step-13
And PostScript, if you will. The infusion that I did in 2011. Photos are almost there. Vodka has been consumed, of course. Alcohol stands to this day. Color she specifically has not changed and sediment is also a powerful no. Although a few flakes appeared. Smell continues dramatically. Alcohol. Taste of black currant is also not present. So ... pour a pity, let it stand. And the conclusion is simple – use the alcohol for making liqueurs or cordials is not worth it. As I said – just burning the alcohol, the essence comes out to the fore.
