How to make homemade cognac from alcohol? Prepare the products. First, rinse the oak bark under cold running water and toss it into a colander.

Now prepare the spices. You will need coriander, cinnamon and nutmeg. Everything is in a shredded state. Very little seasoning is needed, literally at the tip of a knife. If you have coriander with whole seeds - not scary, it will be more fragrant. Simply crush the seeds with the back of a spoon or in a special mortar. It will also require two fragrant carnations. Leave them whole.

Next, I want to note that alcohol for this recipe must be taken 48-degree. If there is no one at hand, boldly replace it with a good, proven vodka. I have such alcohol, and I bank it as the apple of the eye, only for special occasions. So, pour the alcohol into a clean, dry container. It is desirable that it be glass.

Add all the spices to the container. Send the previously prepared oak bark there.

And with the last point, pour in the granulated sugar.

Mix the resulting drink thoroughly to completely dissolve the sugar grains. If desired, you can caramelize sugar in a pan. Then your cognac will acquire pleasant caramel notes. This is the end of the cooking process. It remains only to remove the future cognac to a dark place with room temperature, where no one will find it until ten days have passed. It is impossible to enter the basement. You can't go to the refrigerator.
