Heres an alternative, using the bluebery bush you got from GYO...yes?
For best result, use fresh blue berries. The berries must be fully ripe when you pick them.
Direction: - Rinse the blue berries carefully.
- Leave them to dry in the shade - on paper towel.
- Use a clean glass jar with tight-fitting lid.
- Fill 1/2 - 2/3 of the jar with blue berries.
- Fill up with clear, unflavoured vodka - 40% alcohol content (80 proof).
- Steep for at least 3 months in a dark place at room temperature, 18-20°C (64-68°F).
- Shake lightly and taste it from time to time.
- Strain and filter your infusion into a clean glass bottle or jar with tight-fitting lid.
You can serve your blue berry schnapps after it has settled for a couple of days. It has a nice, fruity taste.
Or you can store (
age) it for 4-6 months or even longer in a dark place at room temperature before serving.
The flavours will change quite a bit during storage, for the better I think. But it's a matter of taste. Some might prefer the fruity taste - I prefer after some storage.
If you want to know how to radically increase the alcohol content so it will blow your head off pm me.
