French noble alcoholic beverage cognac - one of the most complex in the preparation of alcoholic beverages. Therefore, it is almost impossible to prepare it at home according to classical technology from certain varieties of grapes and in special distillation cubes. But it is easily possible to make his analogue, which sometimes is not inferior to shopping "cognacs", often dubious quality. So, we will need:
high quality vodka - 1 l;
oak bark - 1-2 ch. l.;
sugar - 2 tbsp.;
tea welding - 1 tsp;
soluble coffee - 1 tsp;
food soda - 1/2 C.L.;
vanillin is a pinch;
black pepper - 3 skids;
raisin - 1 tbsp.;
prunes - 1 pc.

Oak Corre, who plays hardly a leading role in the preparation of a drink, can be bought in a pharmacy, but for the best taste and aroma, it is better to prepare it yourself. To do this, in June-July, you need to cut the bark from the tree and put it.

Preparing burnt sugar. In the dishes with thick walls, sugar sugar and put on a weak fire, constantly stirring, so that it is not burned. Remove from fire when sugar turns into caramel. All products we fall asleep to a large pan (preferably from heat-resistant glass, if not, you can converged stainless steel with a glass lid);

We pour vodka into a saucepan, close tightly with a lid, so as not to lose degrees, put on a weak fire and bring to a temperature of 90 degrees, no more! It is impossible to boil in any way!

The cooled drink is filled with a gauze folded in several layers.

Spill in tanks and can serve on the table to tasting. We remember that brandy is served in special glasses - reduced, spherical, alternate upwards on a short leg.
The resulting drink, probably, still should not be called "brandy", so that the French from the city of Cognac did not insult for their ineney alcohol. Therefore, I will call it "Brandy", which is produced by technology as close as possible to brandy.
