How to Make Nut Wine
- Gather 1 kg of fresh walnuts (or your preferred nut variety) and gently crack them, reserving the kernels.
- In a large, clean glass jar, combine the 1 kg nut kernels with 2 liters of high-quality neutral grain alcohol (e.g., vodka or Everclear). Seal the jar tightly.
- Let the mixture steep in a cool, dark place for exactly 3 months, gently shaking the jar weekly.
- After 3 months, carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
- Add 1 kg of granulated sugar to the strained nut liquid. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean, airtight bottle.
- Allow the nut wine to settle for an additional 2 to 3 days before serving. For best results, let it age for several months to allow the flavors to further develop.
