Hey Guys and Gals! Fresh cloudberries steeped in vodka or grain alcohol, then sweetened and aged.
Ingredients
Step 1
1 lb (450 g) fresh cloudberries
3 cups (710 ml) vodka, or 1 1/2 cups pure grain alcohol
1 1/2 cups water
Step 2
1 1/2 cups (350 g) sugar
Directions
1. Rinse and check the cloudberries and place them in a jar. Add the alcohol and mix, then pour in the water so all the berries are fully submerged. Close the container.
2. Agitate daily for the first 7 days, then at least once a week for 3 to 4 weeks.
3. Filter, or just remove the berries, and return the liquid to the jar. Add the sugar and shake until dissolved.
4. Age an additional 3 to 4 weeks, then strain through several layers of moistened cheesecloth. If still unclear, strain once more through a coffee strainer.
5. Optional: add clear mineral water for a lighter taste, and more sugar if needed. Let it mellow at least 6 months, preferably 12, before drinking.
