Bog Myrtle Schnapps Recipe
Porse schnapps has a lovely taste that goes well with herring, hot dishes or as a sharp morning bitter. In addition, it is easy to make. The beautiful, golden schnapps can be made almost all year round. There are almost as many ways to make it as there are schnapps brewers, but with porse there is almost always a guarantee of success regardless of which method you use. Here is a suggestion for an easy and quick schnapps that is suitable for a good Christmas lunch, tapas or cozy moments where you enjoy a good spiced schnapps.
- 1-2 dl porcini mushrooms or
- 3-4 dl parsley leaves
- 1 bottle of vodka or neutral-flavored schnapps
- 1 liter container with airtight lid
How to do it
- Pour the juice into your glass and add schnapps or vodka. Let it steep for at least 7-14 days. (You can find recipes where the pot should steep from 4 days to up to 1 year.
- Taste the schnapps during the process until you find the one that suits your taste. If you would like a slightly stronger taste, you can let it sit a little longer. If the taste is too strong, you can dilute it with more schnapps or vodka. Filter your schnapps by letting it run through a coffee filter 1-2 times and your batch of schnapps is ready to serve. But it only gets better as it sits.
- If you use dried catnip or leaves, the steeping time should be shortened. The leaves often need to steep a little longer, but after just a few weeks you have a nice schnapps.
- You can also round out the taste of the porc with a little honey if you are not so keen on the strong porc taste. Start with about 1 tbsp. honey per bottle, you can always add more.
- The longer your schnapps is allowed to sit now, the better it will be. The taste of porse varies around the country and depends a lot on the steeping time, the amount of porse etc. – so no matter what, your schnapps is completely unique and your own! The taste depends on what you use and how long you let it steep before filtering your schnapps and then adding time. Taste as you go – that's one of the pleasures of making spiced schnapps.
