Birch sap for winter storage
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Here is an excellent recipe for preserving birch sap for winter. Its distinctive feature is that it retains its beneficial properties during the canning process and can be stored for a long time. Sap starts flowing in April, when nature awakens from its winter slumber. This is the season for collecting sap and preserving it for winter, so that during the cold months and winter vitamin deficiency, you can enjoy replenishing your supply of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. However, due to its excellent qualities, it rarely lasts until winter, as it perfectly quenches thirst during summer heat. Birch sap is a favorite treat for children, who enjoy drinking it just as much as adults do. The beverage is ready to serve.

3. Prepare convenient containers for sealing; sterilize jars and scald bottles with boiling water. Remove the foam that forms as the juice comes to a boil, otherwise there will be brownish flakes in the jars. When the juice boils, add granulated sugar, mint, or lemon (the amount is up to your preference). This will result in an equally high-quality product with different flavor variations.
