Tip

If you wish, you can make a lighter drink for women. To do this, you will need to add sugar syrup to the finished tincture. Thus, the degree of the drink will decrease and it will become sweeter and tastier.

Cook (read in the body of the recipe) and enter it into an already prepared infusion. A decrease in the degree depends on the amount of syrup, do as you like. After the syrup is introduced, leave the cherry tincture to “breathe” for at least 1 hour, then close the lid or cork.
