Ginger liqueur

ingredients (at 2-2.5 liters of strong liquer):


FIRST PHASE

- 2 large, juicy ginger roots
- 4 large lemons
- 1 liter of 95% alcohol

1. Peel ginger and cut into very thin slices.
2. Wash the lemon and squeeze the juice from them.
1 and 2 toss it into the jar.
3. Put ginger,lemon juice and 1 liter of spirits (you could use vodka, but after 6 months of preparation the small and taste of vodka remains) in a big jar
4. Hide it in a dark closet and weekly shake jar. It should remain in the closet for 3 months. For the impatient one month (but it will have a strong smell of alcohol, and believe me - I tasted it after 1 month and after 5 months, there is huge difference).
5. After the three months, drain off through cheesecloth, strainer or other cloth.

Let's go to:


PHASE TWO

- 1 liter of water
- about 0.5 kg of sugar

We need to add sugar to a liter of water as much as we want to be in 2 liters of liqueur.

There are two ways:

1) Boil water with sugar.
Cool and add to the cold  liqueur.

2) into the pot, pour a liter of boiled water, a  liqueur and gently heat (do not boil!!!!!) all at the same time adding sugar to taste.
When you feel that warm liqueur is already sweet, then when you cool it down it will be terribly sweet

6. pour so prepared liqueur through a strainer and place in bottles and hide in the closet for the next 3 months.
For the impatient for 1 month (to be reckoned with focus and strong ginger taste of alcohol - exactly it is so).


I'm hiding it for the next three months.
