Ingredients

Servings: 5
  • 20 piece(s) Pine cone
  • 2 litres Spirit of wine
  • 3 litres Distilled water
  • 350 g Sugar

Directions

  1. 1

    The pine cones are cut into thin slices. Since the cones are very resinous, it is recommended to work with gloves.

  2. 2

    The slices are placed in a large container together with the alcohol. We always add the sugar only after the ripening phase to better control the taste.

  3. 3

    The mixture matures for about 3 weeks in a bright place in the kitchen. After the maturing phase, 3 litres of distilled water are added and the mixture is poured through a coffee filter. The Swiss stone pine brandy is ready!
