Raspberry liqueur

The first step is to wash and dry the raspberries thoroughly. Then put the raspberries in a large jar that has an airtight seal.

Add spirit to the jar with the fruit. Pour it over the raspberries so that they are completely covered. We close the jar tightly and set it aside for 2 weeks in a dark and cool place. Stirring every few days, it's a good idea to gently shake the jar so that the spirit better soaks up the fruit and dissolves all the flavors well.

After this time, we prepare sugar syrup. We boil 500ml of water in a pot and add sugar to it. We stir until the sugar dissolves. We cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the syrup thickens. After boiling, we leave it to cool.

After two weeks, strain the raspberries through a strainer, and squeeze the remaining fruit to get as much liquid as possible. Add sugar syrup to the resulting liquid and stir until the ingredients are combined.

Now, we pour the finished liquor into bottles. We pour it as far as it will go, and then seal it tightly. We set the bottles aside for another two weeks in a cool and dark place, so that the liqueur matures and acquires its full flavor.

After this time the liqueur is ready for consumption. It tastes delicious served chilled, straight from the refrigerator.
