Apricot tincture
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Choose apricots of medium firmness—they should be slightly soft to the touch. Avoid bright, glossy dried fruits, as they are chemically treated, and the drink made from such ingredients will not be of the best quality. The remaining apricots can be used for baking. Serve chilled.
