Ladies' horseradish vodka
20 servings
30 minutes
This horseradish vodka is called that for a reason: it is soft and tender, and all thanks to liquid honey, lemon juice and cinnamon.
1
Clean the horseradish, rinse under running water, remove all suspicious spots.
- Horseradish: 150 g
2
Cut the horseradish into four or five pieces, place it in ice water, and leave it for 5 hours. This step can be skipped, but it helps remove excess bitterness and pungency that can irritate the stomach. Additionally, it will be easier to cut or grate the horseradish later as it will be less harsh.
3
Meanwhile, prepare the honey: pour about 100 ml of vodka into a jar with a lid, add honey. Mix well, close the jar, and shake to dissolve the honey.
- Vodka: 1 l
- Liquid honey: 4 teaspoons
4
After 5 hours, take the horseradish out of the water, place it on a paper towel, and let it dry. Cut the horseradish into small cubes (do not grate it under any circumstances). Cut the celery into the same cubes. Peel the garlic and cut it in half.
- Horseradish: 150 g
- Celery stalk: 2 pieces
- Garlic: 5 clove

Put horseradish and celery in a jar, add lemon juice, pour in vodka with honey, add spices and black pepper. Mix everything.
- Horseradish: 150 g
- Celery stalk: 2 pieces
- Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons

6
Pour in the remaining vodka, tightly close the jar with a removable lid, and leave it in a dark cool place (in a cupboard or cellar) for a week.

7
Every day, the jar needs to be opened and stirred. But it can just be shaken vigorously.
8
Strain the infusion first through a sieve, then through two or three layers of cheesecloth or a coffee filter to make it completely clear.
9
Pour the tincture into a bottle, seal it, and let it rest for 3-4 days.
