Birch wine

The subtle taste of spring in every glass of this magical drink! A very old wine recipe was told to me by a grandfather from a remote Belarusian village. He said that in the old days birch wine was prepared in whole barrels, and that honey was used instead of sugar. Nowadays, honey has been replaced with sugar for a reason that everyone understands, although the taste of wine has become a little different. I tried to make homemade wine from birch sap – it turned out well. here is this simple "cooking recipe".

Birch wine is prepared in the season of collecting birch sap. The juice should be the freshest, freshly harvested, without the slightest sign of souring. The juice boils, the foam formed on the surface is removed. Sugar and lemon peel are slowly added. next, the liquid is cooled to room temperature, poured into containers without topping up to the brim and put on a water shutter, like any other wine. After two weeks, carefully remove from the sediment, pour homemade birch wine into bottles, close with corks and take it to the cellar. This wine will diversify your table, especially if you are a winemaker and want to surprise your guests with another masterpiece. Any food will go for a snack.
