Hippophae wine
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I thought, why not make wine from our local plants? So I found a recipe for sea buckthorn wine. This berry is very healthy, rich in vitamin C. It has a pleasant tartness and a beautiful color. Overall, the drink should turn out quite unusual, piquant, and very tasty. It looks especially attractive in crystal glasses on a festive table.
