Cherry all year round. You can have this as a drink but also eat the fruit.

Steps

1

Pit the cherries.
2

Place the fruit in a jar together with the pure alcohol and a little of the sugar (about 5-6 tbsp). Place the jar in the sun for 3-4 weeks and on the first week shake it so that the sugar dissolves completely.
3

When the time has passed, separate the drink and make a syrup with the rest of the sugar and the water with the spices. After it has boiled for 3 minutes, strain it and let it cool before you add it to the drink.
4

Mix all the ingredients together and set them aside for 1-2 weeks so that the tastes combine.
