Plum liqueur at home
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Preparing the liqueur requires little active time. The main thing is to allow sufficient steeping time and to strain it well. If you want a clearer drink color, after straining through cheesecloth, filter the drink through cotton placed in a sieve. Pour in small portions to allow the liquid to filter properly.
