Berry liqueur simple and very variable

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 300 g berries, frozen, e.g. raspberries, strawberries or a berry mix
  • 150 g rock sugar, white or brown
  • 700 ml grain alcohol or vodka or rum, min. 38%
  • e.g. vanilla, cinnamon, clove(s), cardamom or other spices

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Rest period approx. 28 days; Total time approx. 28 days 10 minutes

Place frozen berries, rock candy, and your chosen alcohol in a sealable container, such as a jar, bottle, or lidded bowl. Add vanilla or other spices, if desired. In winter, I like to refine it with cinnamon or gingerbread spice. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least two weeks, preferably four. Then strain the berries and either eat them plain (if you can stand it), preserve them, for example, for vanilla ice cream and berries with a shot, compote with a shot, or red fruit compote with a shot, or squeeze the berries to extract as much flavor as possible for the liqueur.
