# What You Need:
→ Fruit
01 - 1.1 lb fresh or frozen blackcurrants, stems removed
→ Spirits
02 - 25.4 fl oz vodka, quality neutral vodka preferred
→ Sweetener
03 - 0.55 to 0.77 lb granulated sugar, adjust to taste
# How to Make It:
01 - Wash the blackcurrants thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves. Pat dry if using fresh berries.
02 - Place the blackcurrants in a large sterilized glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid.
03 - Add the sugar over the berries, then pour in the vodka to cover completely.
04 - Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to combine ingredients.
05 - Store the jar in a cool, dark place. Shake gently every 2 to 3 days to help dissolve the sugar.
06 - Infuse for 3 to 6 weeks, tasting after 3 weeks. When the flavor reaches your preference, strain the liqueur through a fine sieve or muslin into a clean bottle.
07 - Discard the spent berries or reserve for baking. Seal the bottled liqueur and store in a cool, dark place. For optimal flavor, allow to mature for an additional 2 to 4 weeks before serving.
