Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare the ingredients according to the list. To give the tincture a pleasant taste, I used cinnamon; you can use other spices or additives, for example, thyme, lemon peels, garlic, ginger, and aromatic herbs. You can use alcohol, vodka or moonshine as an alcohol base.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour vodka into a glass container. It is important to use high-quality vodka from a trusted manufacturer. We wash the hot pepper pod, make a cut along its entire length; there is no need to remove the seeds from the pepper. Place the pepper in a jar of vodka.

Step 3

Step 3
Add honey. Of course, it is better to use fresh liquid honey and always natural. But even last year’s candied product is suitable for preparing such a drink. You can use any honey: buckwheat, linden or herbs. Candied honey does not need to be heated to melt (otherwise the honey will lose all its medicinal properties); it can be easily dissolved in an alcohol base. Add honey to the rest of the ingredients.

Step 4

Step 4
Mix the contents of the jar, close the jar with a lid and put it in a dark place at room temperature for 10 days.

Step 5

Step 5
To obtain a rich taste, the container with the tincture must be shaken periodically.

Step 6

Step 6
Then we filter the tincture and leave it to infuse for another two days. If sediment has formed, strain again and pour the liquid into a dark glass bottle with a screw cap. We put the tincture in a cool, dark place; in the light, beneficial enzymes can be destroyed in the drink. Honey tincture is stored under storage conditions for up to 3 years.
