Homemade liquors can be not only tasty, but also healthy. We will tell you a secret about which plants will give this drink a divine aroma and new flavor notes.
Lavender
Lavender has many useful properties, so it is often used in cosmetology and medicine. The benefits of the plant are explained by its composition, in which there is a large amount of essential oils, vitamins A and C, as well as calcium, sodium and iron.
Thanks to this, lavender normalizes blood pressure, strengthens the nervous system, improves digestion, and also relieves stress and headache. Liquor retains all the beneficial properties of lavender and receives from it a soft floral aroma with sweet taste notes. It is good to use for making cocktails and desserts.
Anise
This plant contains a large amount of essential oils, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, as well as vitamins C, B and K. Therefore, having prepared liquor from it, you will get a product that helps to normalize digestion, accelerates metabolic processes, reduces swelling and excites appetite.
In addition, a drink with anise increases libido in both men and women. Fragrant alcohol has a sugary sweetness, so it goes well with bitters and light fruit desserts. To make the liquor more intense and piquant, add orange zest, cinnamon or coriander to it.
Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle contains many vitamins and minerals, which makes alcohol based on it an indispensable tool for colds and infectious diseases.
In addition, liquor from this plant normalizes the process of digestion and metabolism. It also improves the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
Honeysuckle produces a light dessert drink with a characteristic bitter-spicy tart taste and berry aroma, which makes it a good aperitif.
Mint
The composition of mint is rich in essential oils, vitamins, tannins, micro and macro elements. Due to this, it has a carminative, sedative, antiseptic and diuretic effect on the human body.
Almost all the beneficial properties are preserved in alcoholic drinks prepared on the basis of peppermint. Therefore, it is useful to use them when there are problems with the gastrointestinal tract, colds and swelling.
The menthol contained in this plant gives the product a rich, refreshing taste and aroma. Therefore, alcohol is practically not felt in it. Peppermint liquor complements desserts well. It can also be added to tea and coffee.
Rose flower
Many people think that the "queen of flowers" is just an ornamental plant. In fact, rose petals are edible, so they are often used in cooking. From the bottom they prepare jams, preserves, syrups and drinks, including alcohol.
In addition to a pleasant taste and aroma, rose liquor has various useful properties. This is because the petals of the flowers contain many vitamins, flavonoids, essential oils, as well as tannins and tarry substances.
Due to the chemical composition, the alcoholic product from the rose can be used as a soothing, anti-inflammatory and restorative agent.
