  • Vodka 500 milliliters
  • Cardamom beans 4 grams
  • Sugar 300 grams
  • Pure distilled water 500 milliliters

    • Inventory:

  • Bank liter
  • Half liter bottle - 2 pieces
  • The saucepan is deep
  • Teapot
  • Plate
  • plastic cover

    • Preparation of cardamom tincture:

    Step 1: combine vodka and cardamom.


    A few words about cardamom. This type of spice helps with poor digestion, colds, bronchitis, migraine bloating and many other diseases. It also has the ability to remove poisons and toxins from the human body. Cardamom tincture is very useful. It won't take much to prepare it. Take a container in which you will infuse the drink and rinse it thoroughly under running water. In my case it is liter jar with plastic cover. On the stove, turned on, put a kettle with ordinary running water on a strong level and bring to a boil. We scald the washed jar and plastic lid with boiling water and let them dry. We open the bag, which contains cardamom grains, and measure 4 grams of spice on a kitchen scale. Now the main thing is accuracy, since a large amount of this seasoning can not only help, but also harm, do not add cardamom more than what is written in the recipe.

    Put in a sterilized jar 4 grams cardamom, open a bottle of vodka and pour it into a jar of spice. We need 500 milliliters of vodka for this drink, it should be is less than 40 degrees. We close the jar with a plastic lid, so that it fits snugly against its neck and so that the alcohol vapors contained in vodka cannot evaporate. We put vodka with cardamom in a dark place on 2 – 3 days and let it brew.

    Step 2: Cook the syrup.


    Cook light syrup. Turn on the stove to a strong level, put a kettle of running water on it and bring it to a boil. We take a deep saucepan, rinse it under running water, scald it with boiling water from the kettle, let it dry and pour into it 500 milliliters pure distilled water. Bring the water to a boil on the stove, turned on at a strong level, using a measuring cup, pour into a pot of water 300 grams sugar and dissolve it. The resulting sweet water is called "light syrup" and is often used to make various types of tinctures. Cool the syrup to room temperature.

    Step 3: Strain and combine ingredients.


    Put a kettle of running water on the stove at a high level and bring it to a boil. After the water boils, remove the kettle from the stove, take a watering can, two half-liter glass bottles with roofs tightly attached to their necks and sterilize them in boiling water. We take a clean sterile bandage, cut off from it 20 centimeters and fold the bandage in half. We take the cooled "light syrup" and pour it through a watering can into sterilized bottles, half into each. Each bottle contains approximately 250 grams syrup. We do not remove the watering can from the bottle, we put a sterile bandage folded in half on its bottom, the tincture must be filtered so that there are no grains in it.

    Vodka, with cardamom infused in it, open and quickly pour into a watering can. We pour the aperitif until the bottle is almost full. When 3-4 centimeters of free space remain to the surface, remove the watering can and immediately insert it into the second sterilized bottle, and close the one into which the aperitif was poured. It should fit snugly around the neck of the bottle. We take the second clean bottle with a watering can inserted into it, open the bottle with tincture and repeat the entire previously performed operation - pour it, close it tightly. When you strain the finished tincture, it must be done quickly, since the alcohol vapors in the vodka can evaporate and the tincture will not be strong enough, which will naturally spoil its taste and reduce its medicinal properties.

    We shake the bottles with tincture for a minute, this time is enough for the syrup to mix with the infused vodka. We give the finished drink a couple more days to stand with syrup in a dark, cool place. Before use, the tincture is cooled in refrigerators until -6 - 8 degrees in. Cardamom tincture is ready.

    Step 4: serve cardamom tincture.


    Cardamom tincture is served chilled, until about – 6 -8 degrees. Immediately before serving, it can be poured into a decanter. You can decorate the glass with a slice of lime or lemon, and put a couple of mint leaves in the drink itself. This aperitif is suitable for any hot or cold appetizer. Very often, cardamom tincture is added to tea, this is especially practiced in the winter or autumn season. Tincture, stimulates, relaxes and gives the body strength. If you catch a cold, after drinking a couple of glasses of this tincture, forget that you could be bothered by a runny nose or cough. Cardamom tincture is the perfect medicine that brings pleasure.
