"Becher" Set of spices for tincture (3 l)

To prepare homemade Becherovka you will need:

• 2.4 liters of distillate or drink with a strength of 50-55%
• Hot Rod spice set for Becher-style liqueur ( the set is designed for 3 liters of the finished product)
• Sugar - 250 - 300 g
• Water - 750 ml

Preparation is as follows: put all the spices in container and fill them with distillate or drink with a strength of 50-55%. Close tightly and place in a dark, warm place (possibly near a radiator for faster extraction). Let the drink stand for a week with periodic shaking. After 7 days, filter the tincture through a fine sieve or several layers of gauze.

Before filtering, it is better to taste the infusion - if the smell and taste seem poor, leave it for another couple of days.

Prepare the syrup: dilute 300g of sugar in 450ml of water and put on fire. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not bring to a boil. Remove, cool to room temperature, remove the foam if it is still present and add to our infusion.

Then pour another 300 ml of water into the saucepan in which the syrup was cooked, rinse it and also add to the tincture. In total, you should have about 3 liters of product. Instead of sugar, you can use fructose, given that it is 1.7 times sweeter than sucrose (i.e. regular sugar). After mixing the tincture and syrup, homemade Becherovka can be considered ready.

After all the procedures done, you will receive a very tasty and aromatic drink, which the Czechs are so proud of.
