Becherovka recipe:

For everything you will need:

• 2.4 liters of distillate strength 50-55%;
• a set of spices for liqueur in the Becherovka style (the set is designed for 3 liters of the finished product);
• sugar – 250 - 300 grams;
• water – 750 ml.

Preparation is as follows: put all the spices in a container and fill them with the product. Close tightly and place in a dark, warm place (possibly near a radiator for faster extraction). Infuse the drink 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 300 grams of sugar in 450 ml. water and put on fire. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not bring to a boil. Remove, cool to room temperature, skim off the foam if it is still present, and add to our infusion.

Then pour another 300 ml into the saucepan in which the syrup was boiled. water, rinse it and also add it 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 (that is, regular sugar). After mixing the tincture and syrup, homemade Becherovka can be considered ready.
