Currant is often used forpreparation of alcoholic beverages. Wine, tincture, nourishment is made from red, white and black currants. The recipe depends on what kind of consistency and strength you want to drink. In this article we will talk about how to make wine from black currant and some other drinks.
The first recipe is time-tested and largenumber of people. In order to make wine from black currant, you need 10 kilograms of berries. They need to sort out and remove ridges. Then rinse the berries in water (cold). Next we need to get juice from them. To do this, we use a juicer. Since the wine from black currant in its pure form is very tart, with a somewhat unusual taste, which may not like everyone, we add the juice of red grapes to it. It is necessary to take 10 kilograms of this fruit. Squeeze out the juice from the grapes. You can do it manually, but you can use special tools. Next, the juice of the grapes must be heated to 30 degrees. Then add 500 grams of sugar, black currant juice and mix thoroughly. Leave the prepared mixture for fermentation. You can pour it into a glass bottle. In order for the fermentation process to proceed normally, the temperature in the room must be at least 25 degrees. After 10 days we filter the fermented wine from the black currant, using for this purpose gauze with the cotton wool embedded in it. We pour it into smaller containers. Bottles should be thoroughly washed and dried. We plug them with stoppers and store them horizontally.
Naturally, there are many recipes,each of which is good in its own way. To prepare the next version of this drink, we need 3 kilograms of currant berries, one kilogram of sugar and three liters of water. We carefully sort the berries and remove the stems. Currant has a very specific, tart taste. Therefore we get rid of twigs, which can significantly strengthen it. We wash berries and pour them into a container with a volume of not less than 8 liters. Separately, you need to make syrup. To do this, heat the water with sugar until it is completely dissolved. If the syrup is very hot, it should be cooled to 25 degrees. Fill them with a prepared currant and leave for five days for fermentation. Then, the black currant wine is filtered and poured into smaller bottles. We cork them and leave them in a cool place. We use it as needed.
You can cook a stronger drink.Pouring of black currant is prepared as follows. We take 5 glasses of berries, two glasses of sugar and 700 ml of good vodka. Berries are very well washed and remove twigs. Then we fill them in a jar with a volume of three liters. You can press them down a little to make juice appear. Then sprinkle them with sugar. Leave the jar of berries for a few days. At times, you need to shake the berries to make juice appear. After 2-3 days, you must pour the vodka into a jar of black currant. Leave the drink for 2-3 months in a dark place. Then filter and pour into bottles. Tincture of black currant is ready, but over time it becomes even more delicious. Berries can be used repeatedly, only the taste will be less saturated.
To taste the alcoholic beverages obtained fromblack currant, was not very saturated, add a little juice of red or white currant. Black currant has a rather specific flavor, and these components slightly interrupt it.
Currant and wine are usually made from currantsliqueur type. You can also make moonshine. Wines make dry, semisweet and dessert. But always remember that drinking is contraindicated to certain categories of citizens and should be moderate.
