Svartvinbärsbrännvin - Home-made  
Absolut Kurant  
"Absolut Kurant" is a very popular Swedish vodka, colourless  
but with a strong taste of black currant. You can prepare a  
similar (but stronger) beverage yourself, although it takes time.  
(Normal Swedish "svartvinbärsbrännvin" has a deep dark violet  
colour and is prepared by extraction of black currant berries.)  
Proceed as follows:  
Ingredients:

. In a closed large glass jar place the 96 % alcohol at the  
bottom.  
. Place 0.5-1 kilograms of black currants in a gauze bag  
and suspend this bag over the alcohol. It is important that  
the black currants are not in any way submerged in the  
alcohol.

. Leave the jar closed in a warm place for at least two  
months. After that time most of the aroma will have  
evaporated from the black currants and dissolved in the  
alcohol, however the pigment still remain in the currants.
