How to insist moonshine on almonds. Recipes for tincture of nuts with vodka and alcohol

Fragrant almonds are actively used in cooking, because they are added to different dishes: desserts, pastries, salads and others. Also, moonshine can be infused on almonds, which allows you to get a high-quality aromatic drink. Many people perceive almonds as a type of nut, but in reality this is not the case, since it is a seed of one of the types of inedible plums. Almond moonshine is an alcoholic drink that should be prepared strictly according to the rules, since an excessive amount of seeds can hopelessly ruin the taste of alcohol.

Theory

There are two types of almonds. Wild is called a fruit with a pronounced taste and aroma. The stone of wild almonds contains a large amount of amygdalin, which can be split into a list of constituents, including hydrocyanic acid. It is not recommended to insist on alcohol at home on wild almonds, since such a drink can be poisonous.

Moonshine on almonds

In cultivated almonds, amygdalin is contained in small amounts in the form of traces. Such a bone can be safely used for brewing moonshine.

Recipes

Before considering the recipes for moonshine on almonds and starting to implement them, you need to take care of the availability of high-quality almonds.

You can insist moonshine on almonds according to this recipe:

1. Take 1 liter of strong moonshine (50%), 5-7 nuts of peeled sweet almonds, 10 grams of black raisins, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 5 grams of oak chips. Important: Some people believe that plum or apricot seeds can be substituted for almonds. In fact, it is impossible to insist on these components of the fruit on moonshine, since the drink may turn out to be poisonous.
2. First you need to take oak chips and pour a little boiling water over them. After a day, the water can be drained from them.
3. The resulting water is added to the moonshine, after which sugar or syrup from it is added to the workpiece and insisted for several hours.
4. After that, almonds and raisins are added to the moonshine and water. The mixture is thoroughly shaken, the container is closed with a lid and the drink is infused at a temperature of 20 degrees for three weeks.
5. The resulting infusion is filtered through cheesecloth and again defended for a month.

The finished drink will have a pleasant tart almond flavor.

Having high-quality almonds and moonshine at home, you can prepare an analogue of the popular liqueur called "Amaretto". To obtain such a drink, you should take 0.75 liters of strong moonshine, 100 grams of peeled almonds, the same number of plum kernels and apricot kernels... Also, to prepare a drink, you will need 500 milliliters of filtered water and 350 grams of sugar.

The drink is prepared according to the recipe in stages:

1. First, the peeled fruit kernels are dried in a pan, but without adding oil. The kernels in the pan must be constantly stirred.
2. When the nucleoli have cooled down, they must be passed through a meat grinder and added together with the almonds to the moonshine. Meanwhile, you need to prepare syrup from sugar and water, cool it and pour into the tincture. The workpiece is placed in a dark place for a week, after which it is taken out and the nucleoli are filtered.

The drink is infused without seeds for a month. Before drinking the drink, you can add vanilla and coffee to your taste.

There are moonshiners who prefer to cook alcoholic drinks quickly and with a minimum list of ingredients. Such moonshiners will certainly like this recipe, because, according to its rules, only 2 components are taken to make moonshine on almonds. This is 1.5 liters of double moonshine with a strength of 50%, as well as half a glass of roasted almond seeds.

First you need to fill the bones with moonshine, seal the container with the blank with a lid and put it in a dark cool place for 40-45 days. Shake the contents of the container thoroughly every week. After 40-45 days, the drink should be filtered through several layers of gauze.

If there are no almond seeds at home, then you can use edible oil almonds. For 1 liter of moonshine, take 3 drops of oil, but not more, since it can spoil the taste of the drink, making it bitter.

Also for cooking almond moonshine you can use special additives and essences. These products can be purchased at stores that sell distilling products.

Ready-made almond drinks can be stored for several months, but only if they are poured into glass containers.

Making moonshine and alcohol for personal use
absolutely legal!

After the end of the existence of the USSR, the new government stopped the fight against moonshine. Criminal liability and fines were abolished, and an article banning the production of alcohol-containing products at home was removed from the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. To this day, there is not a single law prohibiting you and me from engaging in our favorite hobby - making alcohol at home. This is evidenced by the Federal Law of July 8, 1999 No. 143-FZ "On Administrative Liability of Legal Entities (Organizations) and Individual Entrepreneurs for Offenses in the Field of Production and Turnover of Ethyl Alcohol, Alcoholic and Alcohol-Containing Products" (Collected Legislation Russian Federation, 1999, N 28, art. 3476).

Excerpt from the Federal Law of the Russian Federation:

"The effect of this Federal Law does not apply to the activities of citizens (individuals) who produce products containing ethyl alcohol, not for the purpose of marketing."

Home brewing in other countries:

In Kazakhstan in accordance with the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan On Administrative Offenses of January 30, 2001 N 155, the following liability is provided. So, according to article 335 "Manufacture and sale of home-made alcoholic beverages", the illegal manufacture for the sale of moonshine, chacha, mulberry vodka, home brew and other alcoholic beverages, as well as the sale of these alcoholic beverages, entails a fine in the amount of thirty monthly calculation indices with the confiscation of alcoholic beverages , devices, raw materials and equipment for their manufacture, as well as money and other valuables received from their sale. However, the law does not prohibit the preparation of alcohol for personal use.

In Ukraine and Belarus things are different. Articles No. 176 and No. 177 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses provide for the imposition of fines in the amount of three to ten non-taxable minimum wages for the manufacture and storage of moonshine without the purpose of sale, for storage without the purpose of selling devices * for its production.

Article 12.43 repeats this information almost word for word. "Making or purchasing strong alcoholic beverages (moonshine), semi-finished products for their manufacture (mash), storage of apparatus for their manufacture" in the Code of the Republic of Belarus on Administrative Offenses. Clause No. 1 informs: "The production of strong alcoholic beverages (moonshine) by individuals, semi-finished products for their manufacture (mash), as well as the storage of devices * used for their manufacture, - entail a warning or a fine of up to five basic units with the confiscation of the specified drinks, semi-finished products and apparatus ".

* Purchase moonshine still for home use it is still possible, since their second purpose is to distill water and obtain components for natural cosmetics and perfumery.

True connoisseurs of moonshine know: you can get a high-quality drink only with the help of fractional double distillation and further refinement. You can experiment endlessly: moonshine is insisted on nuts, berries, all kinds of herbs and spices. The final taste of the resulting drink will depend not so much on the type of added components, but on their harmonious combination.

Proven tincture recipes

Refining moonshine? fascinating and creative process... You can significantly improve the taste and aroma of the drink by infusing it on blackberries, mountain ash, cranberries, raisins, prunes, anise, lemon or orange peel, bark and leaves of trees and shrubs, mint, cinnamon, caraway seeds, coriander, nutmeg, almonds, pepper , vanilla, licorice, honey, etc. The infusion can be prepared with the addition of one component or contain a whole bunch of herbs and spices.

Tinctures on pine nuts, walnuts or almonds

You can quickly clear the moonshine from the remnants of harmful impurities and refine its taste with a handful of pre-fried
pine nuts. Small 1-2 handfuls are enough for a 3-liter jar. The longer this infusion stays, the better.

Berry and fruit infusions

Refining moonshine can significantly improve its taste. At home, by adding all kinds of aromatic components, you can get any kind of high-quality tinctures, not only indistinguishable, but sometimes even superior to store ones. Such recipes are passed down from generation to generation in many families. Here are some of them.

Moonshine cognac

You can get a decent cognac at home using of this recipe: add a handful to 3 liters of purified moonshine cedar or partitions walnuts, a couple of dried carnation flowers, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of tea, 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds, 3 g of lemon or 1 tbsp. spoon lemon juice and vanillin on the tip of a knife. Sometimes a bay leaf is thrown into the mixture, but should this be done very carefully? large amounts of laurel can produce an undesirable aftertaste.

You can also imitate cognac using an extract from oak bark. In addition to the bark, 1 tbsp is added to 1 liter of moonshine. a spoonful of granulated sugar. The drink is removed to a dark place for 3 months.

A very aromatic cognac can be obtained using a mixture of rose hips, black tea, oak bark, St. John's wort, vanilla, cinnamon, peppercorns and bay leaves. To add a little sweetness, glucose tablets are added to such cognac.

Moonshine infused with coffee, sugar, cloves, cinnamon and vanilla tastes very good. But perhaps the most unusual recipe cognac? it is a cognac obtained from infusion of nutmeg, cloves, pepper, sugar and milk. At least a glass of milk is added to 3 liters of moonshine,
which instantly collapses. After 3 weeks, the drink is filtered.

Hennessy French cognac is prepared by infusion of almonds, raisins and oak bark. Calvados (apple brandy) is more difficult to imitate, since even the wort is prepared in pure apple juice(cider) from a mixture of bittersweet and sour apples, and raisins are added instead of yeast or wine yeast... But if you spare the effort, you can get a rich brandy with apple-floral tones. After distillation and thorough cleaning, the moonshine from this wort is additionally aged on oak chips.

Liqueurs

Their composition can be very diverse. Liqueurs are prepared from almost all types of berries and fruits: apples, pears, plums, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, apricots, pomegranate, dogwood, as well as coffee, milk and eggs, almonds and even dark beer. Here are some recipes.
