Recipe

You can use cultivated berries, but the wild ones have a much stronger taste and aroma.

The berries must be fully ripe when you pick them.

Direction:

• Rinse the blueberries carefully.
• Leave them to dry in the shadow - on paper towel.
• If the berries are frozen - defrost them in the vodka.
• Use a clean glass jar with tight-fitting lid.
• Fill 1/2 - 2/3 of the jar with blueberries.
• Fill up with clear, unflavoured vodka - 40% alcohol content (80 proof).
• Steep for at least 3 months in a dark place at room temperature, 18-20°C (64-68°F).
• Shake lightly and taste it from time to time.
• Strain and filter your infusion into a clean glass bottle or jar with tight-fitting lid.

You can serve your blueberry schnapps after it has settled for a couple of days. It has a nice, fruity taste.

Or you can store (age) it for 4-6 months or even longer in a dark place at room temperature before serving.

The flavours will change rather much during storage. For the better I think. But it's a matter of taste. Some prefer the fruity taste - others prefer their blueberry schnapps after some storage.

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.

Serve your blueberry schnapps at room temperature in suitable glasses. And remember to keep your schnapps bottle tightly closed and in a dark place before and between servings.
