gintukas 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 thanks for link - will need to try that potcheen sometime. you could use it (if it is tastless, because otherwise it can make diferent flavor for liqueur). and if you can try to find pyre alcochol (96.6 % of alcochol). in some countries you can by it easy, I dont know how it is in yours. I prefer 96.6, because if you will make from vodka, it wount be strong enough, and with all that sugar I dont know how it will taste, but you can try:) Link to comment
erialc 2 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Ahh tasteless I'm not sure it's a bit like fire water to me but thinking of it with all that hunny and stuff it could be really nice...I'll have to go liberate that bottle get them there herbs n sices and I'll let you know how it turns out. For me Potcheen on it's own is really quite vile!...lol...In Ireland when we were kids it was used for everything and given to us in hot milk...lol...I thought it was all the fresh air that made us sleep so well too! 'Ahh you have a bitofa cold there...here drink this....ahh you havea tooth ache...here drink this...ahh now you'll not sleep without ya milk...drink this...' hehehe Link to comment
gintukas 0 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 thats funny, so thats why all these irish are crazy (I have one classmate, she is (I mean her family) from irelan, and she is proud of that and she is one of those not forgetable people ( in good way)) Link to comment
Indy13 5 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Here we have a traditional drink made out of plums called Tuica. The drink is a pearlescent yellow, 45-55% alcohol brandy. It is usually served before meals as shots. However an alternative way is boiling it. Ingredients: 1 L of tuica 100 g of sugar 5 g of peppercorn Items needed: Covered pot Wet towel You add the ingredients into the pot, cover it and start heating it untill the drink reaches boiling point (which is 78 C for alcohol). The pot must remain covered at all time otherwise the strong alcohol vapors will ignite in contact with the heating source. Should this ever happen the wet towel will come in handy. The drink is served in cups (about the same size as coffee ones) while still hot. Good luck in finding a similar plum brandy though. Link to comment
gintukas 0 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 that plum brandy should be sweet or dry? Link to comment
Indy13 5 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Somewhere in between, more dry than sweet though, whatever the term for that is in english... Also if you can't find a brandy that has 45-55% alcohol, 35-45% can work as well. Link to comment
erialc 2 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Indy...could something like this work? Yummy And Gintukas have you tried this? is it a sweet drink? It looks yummy! or this...ooh yummy yummy! products Brandy Slyvu - Plum Brandy (Slivovitz) Link to comment
Indy13 5 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 @Claire Lets see, the first one contains honey, so don't know if it would work, maybe if you don't add sugar. As for the second one, lol, all the drinks on that page contain synthetic colorants. Though the drink (Slivovitz/Sljivovica) would work. Most east-european and balkan plum brandies would work as long as they don't contain any extra ingredients. Yeah, our region just loves plum-made alcoholic drinks. Link to comment
Guest gogoblender Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 indy... did you really come up with that word..."pearlescent"... all on yer own gogo Link to comment
