Tangerine peels are used to make homemade drinks

Tangerine vodka recipe

50 g tangerine peels (about 8 small fruits);
1 liter of alcohol;
2 tsp fructose (3 tsp regular sugar);
85 ml juice from tangerine pulp.

Preparation of vodka:

1) Tangerine peels must be peeled from the white peel, which will impart bitterness to the drink. Squeeze out a little tangerine juice (85 ml) and put it in the refrigerator.

2) The peeled peel must be steeped for 3 weeks in pure alcohol with a strength of 95% (you can take vodka and add a couple of bottles of pharmaceutical alcohol to it - our goal is to get a mixture with a strength of at least 45%).

3) After 3 weeks, filter the infusion and dilute it to 45%, add fructose (sugar) and clarified juice. The drink will become cloudy. You can lighten it with pasteurized milk - this amount is 75 ml of pasteurized milk with a fat content of 2.5%. The milk should immediately curdle and fall out in flakes, removing the cloudiness and softening the taste of the drink.
