Ingredients:
- berries of mulberry - 1,8 kg;
- granulated sugar - 460 g;

Pre-collected berries should not be washed in order to preserve on their surface strains of wild yeast, which will contribute to the development of fermentation in the future. If the surface is contaminated, then you can remove them with a dry cloth or brush. We pour the mulberry into the chosen glass vessel, fill it with sugar and add citric acid. All mixed and poured 4.5 liters of water. We tie the neck of the glass vessel with a glove and leave to wander. During the active course of the process, the glove will swell from the abundance of carbon dioxide released, but then it will go down and it will become a notice of the end of fermentation. The fermented beverage is poured onto the gauze filter and then heated to a temperature of no higher than 70 degrees to get rid of the gas bubbles, but not to evaporate the alcohol.
