Incohol Tasting new recipee

Still no sign of the carpenter and no response to my phone message to him to say that the beams are here waiting for him. It will be a surprise for us when/if he turns up before August, as France closes for August. Anyway at the moment i don't really care. Why? 'cos we have been making vin noix and deriratives of same! First pick some green walnuts which we have in abundance and add to red wine, sugar, walnut leaves and some alcohol!!! The red wine is 12% proof and you have to test it to make shure it is ok don't you? then the alcohol.. yeee haa what firewater.. you mix 90% pure alchohol with some 45% proof liquer and add to the rest of the mix and pour into glass jugs with lids and then you have to leave for 40days in a dark place shaking once a week then you can decant carefully into bottles, cork and drink. The locals do say that it will improve with keeping but usually drink it straight away! We have made/mixed up 6 litres og the staf so afre tastine a few drops to mak sur the max is rigt we don not relly care about te carpentther.....;;;eeeeee by gum its bluddy gud stuff whot?? cant wat fo 40daze to tri it out for reel.....

    i think jean-luc suggests putting a cork in to stop the bloody stuff evaporating its that full of alchohol. although drinking it all before then is perhaps a better idea although i don't think we would be around long as we would be suffering from acute alcohol poisoning!!

    How did you get to have tales to tell from France?

    cheers
