Blueberry liqueur without alcohol component
Please note that this recipe does not use an alcoholic component and the liqueur is prepared through natural fermentation. According to this recipe, the berry cannot be washed, this is due to the fact that upon contact with water, wild yeast is washed off, which is necessary to start the fermentation process.
Ingredients
Blueberries – 1,5 kg
Water – 300 ml
Sugar – 500 ml
Method of preparation
Fresh unwashed berries must be chopped in a way convenient for you (with a blender, pusher, hands or a meat grinder).
Transfer the prepared blueberries to a glass container, add sugar and water.
After everything is well mixed, cover the neck with gauze and leave for 3-4 days in a dark place at a temperature of 18-25 degrees. Once a day, stir the contents of the jar with a clean wooden spoon.
As soon as the first signs of fermentation appear, instead of gauze, we install a water seal and leave it in a dark place for 1–1,5 months.
After the fermentation is completely over, the drink must be filtered and then passed through the filter.
The finished liquor is poured into glass bottles and kept for 2-3 months in a dark, cool place.
Then you can start tasting.
