Spotykach is a national Ukrainian alcoholic drink. I propose to cook it at home.
It is necessary
- - lemon - 5 pcs;
- - sugar - 600 g;
- - vodka - 0.75 l;
- - coriander seeds - 0.5 teaspoon;
- - clove buds - 0.25 teaspoon.
Instructions
Step 1
With lemons, do this: rinse them, and then scald them with boiling water. The scalded lemons must be cut into wedges without removing the zest. Now take a three-liter jar and mix the following in it: coriander, cloves, sliced lemon and vodka. Cover the resulting mixture and leave to infuse for one week.
Step 2
Take a saucepan and pour 0.5 liters of water into it. Add sugar to it, stir it and bring the water to a boil. Then cook it over high heat. The readiness of this syrup is easy to determine: dip one drop of it in cold water. If it looks like a soft ball, then you can remove the sugar syrup from the heat.
Step 3
After the tincture is ready, take the cheesecloth, fold it into 2 layers and strain the liquid. Add the strained tincture to the sugar syrup. Mix everything thoroughly. Pour the resulting drink into bottles and send it to a cool, dark place until needed. Lemon stumbling is ready!
