Cooking method

• There are many honey liqueurs in the world. Some appeared quite recently and quickly conquered the market, others have always been by our standards, and they did not need to conquer the market. One of these is the well-known honey liqueur krupnik, which has been prepared in Poland and Belarus, the Baltic States and the Crimea since the 18th century. He is one of the few "elite" drinks that were traditionally prepared in Russia. Krupnik is prepared on the basis of alcohol, honey and spices. It is also cooked with juices, cranberries, etc. Thus, in our millennium, every Karaite family bakes flat cakes, in every family they know how to cook a krupnik and bake kibins. To prepare this drink, the Karaites use about 14 types of roots, various spices. Karaites say that krupnik should be drunk in small glasses so that the head remains clear. The drink tastes sweet, but it goes well with both meat and sweet dishes.
• I want to share with you one of the recipes known to me, it is not difficult to cook it. I propose to prepare and taste the traditional Karaite krupnik - an ancient alcoholic drink made as follows.
• Chop the nutmeg into several small pieces. Break the cinnamon sticks into pieces. Cut the ginger into slices without peeling. Peel the zest off the citrus fruits in wide strips. Place all the spices and zest in a large saucepan. Pour in water, bring to a boil, simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Add honey, cook until honey is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, let it cool, pour alcohol into the resulting syrup, stir, remove the zest. Leave the krupnik to infuse for 24 hours, and then filter. Pour the filtered infusion back into the jar and let stand for 10 days. The krupnik is ready, but the longer it stands, the more fragrant it will become. To clear the color (for transparency), toss in a pinch of raisins.
• PS. The recipe given above is not a standard for making krupnika, since each housewife has her own recipe, with her own aromas and taste. Try, experiment, look for your own!

Zacharywhat a cool recipe, I can smell it. What tea leaves? Thanks for the recipe

What tea leaves?

Black, corrected in the recipe

Zachary! I liked your recipe very much. Everything except the turmeric root. There is ground, but is it suitable? Advise

You don't have to use it at all.

[Zachary]

Zacharyit looks like the drink is very tasty, aromatic. All of his aromas rushed from the monitor.
I took it to bookmarks as soon as .... I will do it right away.

Zachary, thanks for the interesting recipe. And how many degrees does the drink get?

And how many degrees does the drink get?

when calculating 5 glasses of 1 tbsp. - 250 ml at the outlet about 40 degrees, but the liquor is drunk gently

Thanks for the answer, now we need to think about where to get alcohol.

Thanks for the answer, now you have to think about where to get alcohol

You can also use vodka, but then reduce the amount of water to one or two glasses and the drink at the exit will turn out to be a light female

Zakharushka, you are a genius, I haven't even thought about vodka.

[Zachary]

Zachary, please tell us all the subtleties of filtering.
I cooked it today, it's getting cold, darling.

After 24 hours of infusion, filter through cheesecloth. Pour everything into a bottle or can, well, depending on how much you did. The resulting infusion add raisins and leave for a couple of weeks, during which time the liquid will clear up. Drain gently with a tube (if you don’t have it in your everyday life, buy a dropper and use it) The drain should be carefully without capturing the sediment from the bottom, filter the remaining sediment. You decide how to filter

Zakhary, you told about chapraks once .. Where can you find this drink? We will be in Evpatoria in June, I would like to buy a couple of bottles as a gift.)

And I'll make the liquor myself, just in time for the return it will infuse)

[Zachary]

Zachary, and again the question: how much raisins to add? Is a handful enough? Do you need to wash raisins?
Let's deal with the tube. Thanks for answering.
I asked about filtration, because someone filters through rags, someone through a cotton swab, someone through coffee filters. I have never used coffee filters, I always forget to buy.

how much raisins to add? Is a handful enough? Do you need to wash raisins?

Add a handful, I'm not my raisins, but it doesn't matter.

[Zachary]

Zachary, understandably. Thanks again.
While cooking seasonings, it smelled so nice with spices !!!!!

The main condition is time. Withstand at least two weeks and then start taking the sample. The longer it costs the better

I'll try every two weeks until it's over. But I’ll find out how much to insist on my taste.

ZacharyDo you happen to have a recipe using tarragon?

[Zachary]

I didn't understand ... What do we have? Has Krupnik's season begun? Yesterday I cooked and put it in the fermenter for the "Wine" program
Zachary, count how much we matured, and then bang, and went to cook everything Krupnik

Zakhary, estimate how much we matured, and then bang, and went to cook everything Krupnik

It's high time and you're all ripe

It's high time and you're all ripe

I then cooked the spices a week ago, but all hands did not reach, they did not reach so much that I had to send the zest to the freezer. And this morning I got up and forced myself to get down to business. I had a troublesome week. My daughter also says that she is exhausted this week.

It's high time and you're all ripe

So already ripe, already cooked. Two liters is infused ... Come up with something else, Zakhary, we have something else tasty, you know how ... (here I look into your eyes with devotion)

(here I loyally look into your eyes)

Yes, I’m sure I’ll give up without a fight. We'll have to do something.

[Zachary]

Come up with something else, Zakhariy, we have something else tasty, you know how ... (here I faithfully look into your eyes)

Zachary, I, like Lena, also loyally look into your eyes and languish in anticipation.
kubanochka, Lena, but about the infusion in the fermenter incubator krupnik can be more detailed?

about insisting in a fermenter, an incubator of a krupnik, in more detail, can you?

And what is there in more detail? When the spicy syrup cooled down, I poured it into a 2 liter fermenter jar, added vodka, closed the lid and put it on Wine. Let's go for the second day, I haven’t filtered it yet, and it’s just the same with spice roots. The color is even more beautiful today than yesterday.

Now there are 167 hours of flight left (I put it on 204)



Especially for the photo shoot, I took it out, stirred it up, but it will stand a little and it becomes transparent.



For lack of some spices, I added Indian masala, there is all the necessary list. But nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger ... it's all not ground, but as in the recipe.

[kubanochka]

kubanochka, Lena, I still have it muddy, put it in a dark place.
On the weekend we leave for the dacha, I'll come, pour everything into the fermenter. I have a fermenter with one 2-liter jar, so I have to add time during the play.
Your krupnik already looks beautiful. My pepper also rose.

[kubanochka]

kubanochka, Lena, how is your krupnik doing?
I completely forgot about mine. Yesterday I filtered it, added raisins, put it in the fermenter. While I was filtering, I licked a little - delicious! After infusion with raisins, it should be even tastier.

And our Zakhariy promised to give us another drink, but he disappeared. Naturally, spring, gardening chores.

[Sveta]

Sveta, I also filtered my krupnik yesterday. Having previously forgotten about it too. I also forgot to add the raisins. I'm going to fix the mistake.

I also forgot to add the raisins. I'm going to fix the mistake.

Here you see? At least I reminded you of the raisins.

The brother-in-law's brother came to us on business, I shook him to try the krupnik from the fermenter, he tried it and said: THING. The next day, my son-in-law came home from work and decided to try the krupnik, I poured it, he also liked the krupnik.

And now I insist on the same drink, but without honey. I'll see what happens.

It will be good too, I did this and that, but still wins a lot with honey

[Zachary]

Zachary, so if Th, then honey can be added later? Or will it be wrong again?

Zakhari, so if what, can you add honey later? Or will it be wrong again?

No, not that, a recipe is a recipe. Honey reveals all aromas.

You can replace it with sugar syrup of the same proportions, but the taste is not exactly the same

[Zachary]

Zachary, the taste, though not the same, will be new. I still want to try this and that. The machine is up and running.

[Wildebeest]

And now I insist on the same drink, but without honey. I'll see what happens.

Wildebeest, Svetul, almost Martini will turn out))) Look here

[kubanochka]

kubanochka, Lena !!!!
Oooooo! This is your recipe !!!!!

[filirina]

This is your recipe !!!!!

Why is he mine? His Irishka filirina brought it, I only helped her insert the video)))

It’s time for the girls to taste, and you’re not even like that.

it's time to taste, and you are all not even like

What's wrong ?! Won Svetik on his son-in-law and his brother checks before trying it. And I don't drink at all. I just insist on something, brew, filter, pour ... I enjoy the process itself And then drink the guests, of course.

The process itself is pleasant to me

Already Something, A is that itself

[Zachary]

Zacharytake a fluttered report



I tried it. Very, very tasty! And why did I decide that I don't drink

Zachary, good day !!))
Thanks for the recipe ...
What can you say about this ...

If you are afraid of honey overheating and release of carcinogens, do not heat the mixture above 60 ° C

I can't really insert the link .... newbie ... replace those nttr to the desired ..... nttr: //
Thank you!!

What can you say about this ...

I did not understand what you mean. If you wanted to show a link to a krupnik recipe, then there are many of them. If about honey, then everyone decides for himself. I only offer the recipe and do not go into this jungle.

What can you say about this ...

If you are afraid of honey overheating and release of carcinogens, do not heat the mixture above 60 ° C

ukby, and where in the recipe says that the temperature will be above 60 degrees? The recipe clearly states:

Pour in water, bring to a boil, simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.Add honey, cook until honey is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Boil water and make maaaaaa little fire. That is, not 100 degrees. Cool to 60 and add honey. It will dissolve in 5 minutes

[Add honey, cook until honey is completely dissolved]

Zacharylet me kiss you ... Then ... if you want ...
Thanks again for the recipe. I liked both options. Very aromatic drinks.
The one without honey - before dinner, and the one with honey - for dessert.
