Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make homemade cognac from alcohol? Prepare your food. To begin, rinse the oak bark under cold running water and discard in a colander.

Step 2

Step 2
Now prepare the spices. You will need coriander, cinnamon and nutmeg. Everything is in a crushed state. You need very little seasoning, literally on the tip of a knife. If you have whole coriander seeds, it’s okay, it will be more fragrant. Simply crush the seeds with the back of a spoon or in a special mortar. You will also need two fragrant cloves. Leave them whole.

Step 3

Step 3
Next, I want to note that for this recipe you need to take 48 degrees alcohol. If you don’t have one at hand, feel free to replace it with good, proven vodka. I have this alcohol, and I treasure it like the apple of my eye, only for special occasions. So, pour the alcohol into a clean, dry container. It is desirable that it be glass.

Step 4

Step 4
Add all the spices to the container. Send the previously prepared oak bark there.

Step 5

Step 5
And the last step is to add granulated sugar.

Step 6

Step 6
Stir the resulting drink thoroughly until the sugar grains are completely dissolved. If desired, you can caramelize the sugar in a frying pan. Then your cognac will acquire pleasant caramel notes. This completes the cooking process. All that remains is to put the future cognac in a dark place at room temperature, where no one will find it until ten days have passed. You canʼt go into the basement. You canʼt put it in the refrigerator.
