Lingonberry tincture

Cookinero 3 Apr 2025

Lingonberry tincture at home is usually made from fresh berries. The drink prepared on their basis has a more pronounced taste and aroma. In the absence of fresh gifts of the forest, you can use a frozen product. Lingonberry is one of the most frost-resistant berries and retains all its beneficial properties at low temperatures. Lingonberry tincture is made on the basis of vodka. The drink is prepared for 3 weeks.

How to cook Lingonberry tincture

Step 1

Lingonberry tincture

Prepare the berries. Place the washed or defrosted berries in a container and mash them a little.

Step 2

Make a concentrate. Sprinkle sugar on top of the berries in a thin stream so that it covers the lingonberries without mixing with them completely.

Step 3

Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening for best quality.
