A set of spices for tinctures in the style of Latgale Cognac

Latgalian tincture is the most common way to ennoble cognac-style moonshine. The recipe was invented in Latgale - the historical region of modern Latvia, which has a long tradition of home brewing. There are many variations of this drink, but there is one classic recipe that has been used for generations and always gives a good, consistent result.

Cognac Recipe

For everything you will need:

• 3 liters of distillate or vodka with a strength of 40-50%
• Hot Rod spice set for tincture Cognac a la Latgale (the set is designed for 3 l of the finished product)
• 3 tablespoons of sugar

Cooking:

Sugar must first be dissolved in a small amount of moonshine, as an option - make a simple caramel syrup.

We put all the ingredients in a jar, pour in moonshine and add syrup, shake everything well and set aside in a dark place.

The time of infusion is from two weeks to two months. When insisting on the battery, the time is reduced to a week - 10 days.

After the tincture has acquired a brown color and a bright aroma, it must be filtered, bottled and kept for about six months in a dark place.
