Currant liqueur

If you love the famous Creme de cassis blackcurrant liqueur, you don't have to spend a lot of money on it. After collecting some berries, you can easily make your favorite drink at home.

Ingredients

700 g black currant
1.3 l of vodka
sugar (the amount will depend on the weight of the liquid)

STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE

Step 1

Remove the tails from the currants, rinse and dry the berries. Put the berries in the bowl of a food processor and chop a little (you don't need to bring the puree to a consistency, just crush the berries).

Step 2

Place the currants in a large glass jar and cover with vodka. Close the jar tightly. Shake it and leave it in a cool, dark place for a month.

Step 3

After a month, strain the liquid twice through a fine sieve. Weigh the liquid.

Step 4

For regular blackcurrant liqueur, you need to add sugar 20% of the weight of the liquid (multiply the weight of the liquid by 0.2 to get the weight of the sugar). Add sugar and stir until dissolved.

Step 5

To make a thick and sweet liquor like Cremee de cassis, you need 45% sugar by weight of the liquid (multiply the weight of the liquid by 0.45 for the weight of the sugar).
