Raisin tincture on moonshine
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The infusion can be stored for about 1 year, but after 20–25 days it must be strained to remove the raisins. Store the beverage in a dark and cool place. You can use any type of raisins, and honey can be substituted with sugar. The drink is ready to serve.
