There are no accurate data when people came up with an alcohol to insist on other components. Presumably, this knowledge came from the east. The manufacture of tinctures on medicinal herbs and not only was delivered to the ancient countries, and already from there - in the Western and territory of Russia. In Russia, the first tincture that has gained popularity was vodka made by Erofey. Vodka insisted on nuts, mint and anise. Well, then different experiments with alcohol began, and many cunning recipes appeared experimentally. Often the smell and taste of berries and different grass masked poor-quality moonshine.

Before you begin to insist vodka and make a tincture, you need to study the basic rules and principles of the manufacture of the drink, although at first glance this case seems simple. The tincture should have a fortress about forty-five degrees, and it is necessary to add, except for different herbs and berries, the required amount of sugar. Yes, and the process of insteading is not fast, wait for about two months. And if you earlier reveal the bottle, then the taste of the tincture will be incomplete. The principle of insistence is that substances from the components of the tincture penetrate vodka. This is just the result in two months. The process can be accelerated by heating, but in this case the taste of the drink will become different. The tinctures are often confused with emphasis, but the latter are obtained in the fermentation of the product, or if the alcohol is mixed with the berry syrup. And the fortress of emphasis hesitates within twenty degrees.
