Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 ml Grape juice (100% pure, no added sugar)
- 500 ml Vodka (neutral, 40% ABV)
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 stick Cinnamon stick
Instructions
1. In a large, sealable glass jar, combine the grape juice and vodka.
2. Add the brown sugar to the mixture. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. Drop in the cinnamon stick and add the vanilla extract to the liquid.
4. Seal the jar tightly and shake well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Store the jar in a cool, dark place for at least 5 days, shaking it gently once a day to promote even infusion.
6. After 5 days, taste the infusion. If the flavor is to your liking, remove the cinnamon stick to prevent it from becoming overpowering.
7. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids, then transfer the strained liquid into a clean glass bottle or jar.
8. Seal the bottle and store the homemade brandy in a cool, dark place. Serve neat, over ice, or as a mixer in your favorite cocktails.
