A tincture is an alcoholic plant extract. During the production of homemade liqueurs, alcohol extracts active substances contained in herbs and fruits as well as it preserves the active substances very well. That’s why we present to you our recipe for a homemade Lemon flavoured nalewka (also known as a lemon tincture), which is unmatched.

It is refreshing, aromatic, and the addition of percentages makes it perfect for any party, party or unexpected guests.

Homemade lemon flavoured nalewka made with honey, which we present to you here, strongly chilled, tastes best. We have the impression that the version made with honey is slightly more delicate in taste and in our opinion it is simply tastier.

So let’s go ahead and get to work!

Ingredients for lemon flavoured nalewka:

  • 0.5 l of spirit
  • 5 lemons (you should have about 250 ml of lemon juice out of it, if not use more)
  • 100g of sugar
  • 50g honey
  • 400 ml of water

Method:

  1. Scald the lemon (pour boiling water over them), peel lemon with a peeler (do not throw it away!). Then peel the white part of the lemon peel and squeeze the juice (we used an electric juice extractor).
  2. Boil the water with sugar, honey and lemon peel (just the yellow part:)). Then leave to cool.
  3. Mix the syrup without lemon peel with lemon juice. Then combine with the spirit (we suggest to do it in a jar).
  4. After about an hour, remove the rind that formed on the top of the tincture, drain and then pour into the bottles.
  5. Leave aside so the alcohol can mature in taste. (24h should be enough).
  6. And it’s ready !. Now you can enjoy the delicious taste of this drink of the gods – we think so just about homemade tinctures. And the lemon version of this drink is quick and easy to produce.
