2. Mash the plum flesh into a puree using a mortar. Place it in a cheesecloth (to keep flies away), add water in a 1:1 ratio, and leave it to ferment for three to four days until foam appears. Now squeeze the cheesecloth with the pulp very thoroughly and discard the pulp. The resulting juice can be filtered once again.

3. Now add sugar to each type of juice, observing the proportions. Mix well and pour into clean bottles. Do not fill more than 3/4 full: leave space for fermentation. Attach a water lock and let it ferment in a warm place for a month and a half.
