Hey Guys and Gals! A sweet, aged liqueur made by steeping yangmei fruit in vodka or sorghum spirit with sugar.
Ingredients
1 pound of yangmei
3 cups of vodka (grain base for best taste) or sorghum spirit
1/2 cup of sugar
Directions
1. Rinse the yangmei well, soak it 15 to 20 minutes in lightly salted water, rinse again, and air dry on paper towels.
2. Place the dry yangmei in a clean glass jar, add the sugar and alcohol, and close the container.
3. Shake well and store away from sunlight in a cool, dry place for 1 month, agitating often.
4. Strain, squeezing the pulp gently, then wring the cheesecloth to get the remaining liquid. If still cloudy, strain once more through a coffee strainer.
5. Pour the liqueur back into the aging container, taste, and add sugar a little at a time until it suits you. Let it age another 2 months.
