Special Belgian Drink
We all know Europe is heaven for drinkers with a brand of their own in each country, city, town and village. In Belgium, there are 460 breweries. If one observes the map of Belgium they can only have a big question on this number. Trust me, 90% beer made in these breweries is consummed within Belgium.
Belgians love beer, chocolate, wine and diamonds. My colleague explained about a drink he makes every year for consumption throughtout the year. This is one of the common drinks made at home by many Belgium natives. They add pure alcohol (95% or so) and the skin of lemons. Leave it for aging in the oak casks for 3-4 weeks. Then squeeze out the liquid from the lemon skin and add new bunch of lemon skin. The skin quantity is around 25-50% of the volume of alcohol. They repeat the procedure for 4+ times untill the alcohol becomes greenish, smells like lemon and meets their expected level of taste. Once done, the alcohol is mixed with sugar and stored in bottles. These bottles are kept in the deep freezer. The liquor never gets frozen at sub zero temperature of the deep freezer. To consume make a small peg and add ice till you feel comfortable to consume.
Isnt that a wonderful thing to do during the cool winters ;-D) Ooooooohhhh Am loving it
