Homemade pear liqueur
Description
The drink is prepared quickly and easily. The aroma and flavor of the liqueur depend on the pear variety. If these qualities are not pronounced enough, it is advisable to increase the infusion time. Otherwise, there will be a mild fruity aftertaste. Since pears have a distinct "grittiness," it is very important to carefully and thoroughly filter the drink before serving. Pear liqueur can be stored for up to 5 years. Ready to serve.
