Direction:

• Carefully rinse the apricots and let them dry in the shadow - on a piece of paper towel.
• Cut the apricots in halves, remove the stones (pits) and slice the fruits.
• Put apricots and stones in a clean glass jar with tight-fitting lid.
• Cover with clear, unflavoured vodka - 40% alcohol content (80 proof).
• Let steep for 4-5 weeks in a dark place at room temperature,
  18-20°C (64-68°F).
• Shake lightly or stir with a wooden spoon and taste it from time to time.
• Strain and filter your infusion into a clean glass bottle or jar with tight-fitting lid.
• Store (age) for at least 1 month in a dark place at room temperature before serving.

Note: If for some reason you are not satisfied with your infusion, there are ways to adjust both taste and flavours - click here to see how.
