  • 200 g rock sugar, brown

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Wash the walnuts and quarter them with a sharp knife. Be sure to wear rubber gloves. Then, along with the remaining ingredients, place them in a large preserving jar. Pour in 1 liter of schnapps, vodka, or fruit brandy (I prefer the latter). Let stand in a sunny spot for 6-8 weeks, then strain. Let it ripen in a dark place until winter, sweetening with sugar syrup if desired.
