 refresh cool there we are spot of tea how are you doing nice nice as soon as we get our first the little chat I know we're live so that's good hope you're doing well fun fun fun let me give you guys a little intro of what's going on today and if you will follow our work you'll know where we are we're in front of our liquor cabinet right so it's gonna take about five or ten minutes for people to come in we are live streaming this by the way I'm not recording this with the HD camera we're sort of going full-on live stream right now this was sort of a request that was brought about through discord and the people that are following us on Twitch and some people on YouTube that wanted a sort of little spring visit to the liquor cabinet rewatch the first liquor video last night to be were also also awesome and the first liquor video for those might be watching this or will be watching this after the fact let me bring up this guy here if you go to our liquor playlist there's like four videos there where we've made previous liquor videos so there's four videos they're on YouTube and there is a liquor playlist three of the videos I believe are on bitch shoot I don't think I was on bitch shoot I don't think bitch shoot was around when we put out our first liquor video they might have been around an hour so I'm sure but I wasn't on there anyway okay yeah I had a drink and a month and I'm still excited for the cure stream awesome dragons airman how are you doing I made the computer screen is a little bit further away from you so I made the text really big so I can read it without the glasses but we might need the help of this as time progresses but basically while we do a little wait and wait until people come on to the live stream let me give you a little quick rundown of what it is that we're about to do at all miles how are you doing there's basically three things we're gonna do we're gonna make a couple of new batches one the cure and one here well I'm sure someone mentioned that well this one not but they mentioned Kiwis right so I peeled some mandarins and Kiwi so we're gonna make a Kiwi Mandarin liquor okay I'm looking forward to this one summers here and it's starting out with a bang right so I got a feeling it's gonna be very refreshing having this okay so that's one liquor we're going to make and we're gonna make it's not a cucumber liquor I've made this before a long time ago and someone in the last few days mentioned hey chichu over ask me have you ever had made cucumber and lime liquor and I've never made cucumber and lime liquor I make cucumber you take cucumbers put them in the jar and put vodka on and the cucumber flavor really gets into the vodka it's crazy refreshing for summer hot time hot time weather right so we're gonna make one I might squeeze a little bit of lemon in there I don't have any lines right now but I might squeeze a little lemon I'm not sure not yet so we're gonna make two liqueurs specifically summer mode and we got to go through the liquor cabinet we're gonna we're gonna be doing a little taste testing and topping topping things up okay I ended up going to the liquor store I wasn't gonna go out shopping because you know we are in the midst of a sort of a recommended physical distancing stuff but we do need it some supplies food and stuff like that so I made a little stop at the liquor store liquor store and got ourselves a 40 40 60 ounce sir I can't I don't know what size that is that's the biggest one they had in that bottle right so I thought we'd top things up as well okay and the other thing we're gonna do is we're gonna switch this one into a smaller jar I didn't get a chance to go to to get pomegranates this is our pomegranate liquor we made two years ago now or last year and I was gonna go get pomegranates this year as well but I got taken out with the flu for about a month and a half or so so I didn't get an opportunity when the main batch of pomegranates was coming in to do our sort of bulk buying of pomegranates so we're gonna be enjoying that until next fall okay aside from that I'm just gonna go to chat just say hi to everyone and catch up with the chat and for those of you watching this stream after the fact we're gonna start making the liqueurs and going through the stuff in about five ten minutes okay and if this is after the last stream I'll provide the timestamp in the description of this video or most likely in the title as well okay hi gang sorry for a long little intro and by the way if if you want to follow our work I do have a patreon page so on patreon you can follow what we're doing I do announce the streams sort of in batches when we are we will be doing streams I do post the videos on patreon I do announce them on patreon as well as pics of some of the background stuff and some other discussion that we have okay so patreon is a fantastic way to follow the work and if you do have the funds is a fantastic way to support this project okay we are live streaming this on twitch people on twitch know we're live streaming us in twitch with those after the fact on bit shoot and YouTube right now and most likely a third platform coming sooner rather than later we are live streaming on twitch only right now and uploading the videos to the other platforms okay I do announce the live streams 30 minutes beforehand on twitter gab mine vk and elo those are the five sort of information sharing platforms and I'm active on that sort of a shout-out platforms just because of our efforts to decentralize I think it's important because there's a lot of censorship taking place all over the place right and right now we're uploading these to YouTube and bit shoot okay that's where you can find the live streams after the fact as well as you know I do make edited videos with a lapel mic and stop and vote those on YouTube and bit shoot as well and we are in times of a pandemic and irrelevant of what you think the origins of these things are and what the agenda is there's no denying there's something going on so physical distancing is a good idea to flatten the curve and do not overwhelm your healthcare systems because they're there to save our asses just in case anything goes wrong right so little physical distancing is okay gives us the opportunity a little social activity like this right going into people's homes and sampling the cure cabinets or listening to them play music or what the exercise routine is and people coming online and sharing more and more information trying to decentralize her whole whole way of being right and that is very very social it's just a little bit of physical distancing which is a good idea to do just in case just in case better safe than sorry right aside from that let me take these down say hi to chat and start sampling liquor and making some liquor I'm doing this long distance I'm trying to squint and take things down where is our Twitter one there is hi gang how are you guys doing this the setup right now is a little weird because the camera is over here I set the webcam here so we're only going with one camera right now one angle it's just simpler that way from my end right now twitching Jason how are you doing simmers hey chicho I'm Alex from YouTube chat nice Alex how you doing you've been catching the premieres I've been premiering the videos on YouTube by

they're gonna be delicious very delicious hello chicho great lasagna how are you doing good afternoon Catholic traditionalist hello hello afternoon everyone Huckleberry win how were you doing leto flew month and a half I don't know whatever it was people that were watching live and watching the videos and stuff I was mentioning that I've never been hit this hard before in my life and it took me out for a while after a month and a half I was at 70% capacity maybe what up chicho Nates how are you doing Nicholas Nicholas what's up what's up can't seem to find a liqueur playlist on YouTube oh here I grabbed it this is the playlist on chat I already copied it I think that should work thanks thanks spot of tea hey chicho hey everyone Felix how are you doing Martin house life lockdown continues in the UK another three weeks yeah some places gonna continue for a while and I just watched the interview with someone on regarding India and it's very interesting perspective I shared another discord page okay I believe I shared in the COVID-19 folder interesting perspective lots lots to be said about that doing well as on yet thank you gang should we do I'm sort of halfway between needing glasses and I gotta make the text even bigger I'm gonna make the text a little bit bigger gang just so I can read nice oh yeah that's better but I did lose where I was sleepy waves how are you doing I'm scrolling all the way down gang should we start making some liquor let's start making some liquor should we do a couple samples first cuz I do need to pace myself right or should we make the liquor let's make the liquors first okay let's do this we're gonna make right now how long are we into the stream that way I can we're about 12 minutes in should we wait a couple more minutes there might be people coming in right I don't want them I don't want people missing the liquor stream because I've been requesting this big time let me pour myself a little sampler okay and this is the one we're gonna change up so it doesn't have very much left in it so why don't we change this and then X how are you doing so this is a pomegranate liquor we made and there was a fair bit more seeds in this and we ended up eating it and this was pretty full I can't remember where it was it was here so we went through it speedy ones I'll stop so what I'm gonna do seal up I haven't cracked it open for a while and we don't crack it open for a while what happens is I think it's just the pressure sucks it in so you get a nicer seal to a certain degree so what I'm gonna do I need to transfer this but let's have a little sample of this first ah your first time here tain create 16 Gina how are you doing how's life apologies I'm gonna miss a lot of chat because sometimes this gets a little little bit delicate because the stuff is piled up and it just goes falls down and sends a wave of liquor coming through okay but Chico I want to make liquor to have in ready months aside for strawberries what other fruit should I have sleepy waves we're gonna go through and strawberries is crazy delicious a couple of couple of videos ago in the liquor we made strawberries and we made a bash that was like it was fairly big about three quarters of this and we went through that pretty fast and that was the quickest the strawberries the quickest liqueurs I've ever had like that's been ready it was ready to be had within two two weeks so let's just put this here and you can you can tell this is very murky right so it's needed it needs new vodka it needs alcohol top-up and I make mine with vodka I have done we got one here with gin and I made it with gin before but I prefer vodka good wow that's brilliant I'm gonna transfer the seeds into a jar and one liter jar and depending how much it fills up I might add a little bit of a little bit of vodka I probably will because there is enough liquid here but the taste on this is absolutely phenomenal really like holy Kamolis and get the seed in there as well right very good very good so nice wow let's transfer this over I tried the strawberry one and it was great and it was ready so fast I was wondering if there is any other fruit that is as ready just a nothing that I've tried as ready as fast the cherry is amazing it takes a little bit longer I'm guessing the kiwi is going to be faster but I'm not making straight-up kiwi right I'm mixing it with tangerines but I'm guessing the tangerines will be ready pretty fast too but the quickest is strawberries I've never had a liqueur ready as quick as strawberries the pomegranates were not bad right this is like pure gold like really and I've given liqueurs as presents I've mentioned this before sometimes when we go to house warmings when there's potlucks and stuff you know you want to take a gift to the to people's homes right and I just transfer these into smaller jars and take people a little bit of the cure I've done it with lemon a lot and it's you know people who appreciate this love it so if you have friends or family that appreciate the love that is in these things and the time and they like the flavor then by all means they're amazing for potlucks too of course right if people ask you hey what are you gonna bring for the potluck you say liqueur sampling of liqueurs right why not let's transfer that okay that's good let's put that there so it's gonna take off less space which is great and here's our pomegranate so I'm gonna fill put a little bit of sugar in this not much it is sweet but as soon as I add the vodka the sweetness is gonna be reduced a little bit right so let me do a little bit of adjusting here and I do have a little bit of snacks here as well so let's crack open and we're gonna get sticky from this okay and by the way Chad if there's anything you want me to see if directed towards me questions just put chicho on it I've made the text really large so scrolling past me pretty fast so if there's a question I haven't answered for a while if has been directed towards me I probably missed it so please feel free to mention it again and the fruit in liqueurs really takes on the flavor of the liqueur spot of two do you still have the jam liqueur from a couple of years ago and the cinnamon oh yeah for sure the only the only liqueurs that I like slowly you know bottles go away from the liqueur cabinet just three bottles we're gonna remove these three here we're gonna remove this time okay I haven't got around to them we tasted them last time the flavor is gone right but the cinnamon one check this out we're gonna talk this up and this is murky in the bottom right so I'm not gonna shake it okay this is amazing gold I don't drink this often it's like consider this to be medicinal more than anything right it's good for the tummy right but it's absolutely phenomenal okay we're gonna taste it but I'm not a hundred percent sure and I have another cinnamon on the bottom if we're gonna add any more vodka to it so what I want to do is I want to add vodka to this guy let's crack this open initially we're just gonna go through a taste testing but I was out and about and it wasn't really a good experience being out and about I had already stocked up as you know we talked about stocking up so I should ask let's add the sugar in this first and I'm just using organic cane sugar okay I've got a little measuring cup here it's just one cup Chico have you ever gotten around to making a coconut I haven't got the coconut liqueur going I might this year I think it'd be amazing I'm just gonna add like I'm not even gonna add that much that's three quarters I'm gonna add not even I'm just adding like a quarter of a cup okay I might even reduce it depending on how much yeah that's enough I'm even putting some of it back okay I don't want it to be too sweet it's already sweet enough let's put this guy in there and I'm just filling it up so we get to the top okay that's all I'm not gonna take it all the way to the top of the thing I just want the pomegranates to be buried a coconut liqueur would be absolutely amazing maybe we'll this year and it's gonna be hot enough we're getting into the summer so it's gonna be hot enough where the sugar is gonna melt right just give it a shake make sure the seal is tight right so we can put this one back that's our pomegranates very nice I've been meaning to do that for a while I was gonna make a whole new batch this year but it didn't happen let's make the Dante how are you doing vanilla sounds fun but expensive vanilla you could get vanilla extract and just infuse it but vanilla beans that would be pretty phenomenal let's do this manjurans and kiwi okay so we're gonna transfer this to a jar okay another one liter jar a finding I'm liking making one liter jars they're easy to lift up and manage so I have a fair bit of other larger jars here actually the two liters are pretty good so I just one liter or two liter I'm finding to be good that 500 mil is not big enough fantastic this is gonna look so good right and the taste should be absolutely brilliant and these are local kiwis like on Vancouver Island which is fantastic beautiful color to it right we get a little bit left over we can munch on later we need to make room for while the sugar will go down I'm filling it basically to the top now I'm probably gonna add well let's see how much sugar we're gonna add to this okay so we got this much left nice I'm okay with that now for this I'm gonna add about yeah I'm gonna add a full cup okay so I'm just going full load that's how much I'm gonna add I might increase it later on but this should be okay because the manjurans were pretty sweet and kiwi some of it I forget how many there was in here there was a little bit that was a little bit on the raw side and a couple of them were nice nicely ripe right and this will settle a little bit so the fruit will be covered with vodka doesn't look like there's any liquid but there is so I'm gonna close this up and give it a shake make sure you close it tight right have I ever made one have I ever made one then and decided it was really bad yeah but then what I make it was well we made elderberry liqueur and we tasted it during one of the live streams and I didn't like it at all like it was it was it was it was off right and then we added sugar I believe in that livestream and then six months later a year later we came back to taste it and it was phenomenal and it's really good and it's this one here and after we added the sugar and let it sit for about six months I gave it a 10 out of 10 and you can we drank it all so we have to top this up right we do have an elderberry tree in our yard and this is elderberries that we harvested from our yard there's we actually put out a video of me talking about geophysics and taking harvesting the elderberries to make liqueur right so there's a video out there from like three four years ago where we pulled up all the elderberries right it's really amazing color and you know I told you about my life as geophysicist this is those elderberries right so we will be harvesting some later on this summer right the elderberries but we're gonna have a taste to taste on the safe the flavor is still there if you can take any more vodka but we ended up finishing it we just it was amazing seriously so I didn't like that one initially and then I loved it another one was seabock thorn I found seabock thorn to be crazy pungent and it is crazy pungent as a liqueur so I don't treat it as well as I do drink it but not as often and I go to it as a medicinal thing as well you know for tummy if you want to you feel a little heavy and whatnot the elderberries amazing and I'll show you that one as well so the fruit is cold on this because it was in the fridge I peeled all the stuff last night so the jar is cold as it warms up to room temperature I'll give it a more of a shake okay so this is our kiwi and tangerine liqueur let's put that guy there's our kiwi and tangerine let's do cucumber let's do cucumber off-topic but what's the sword on the wall sword on the wall is a Glandamir Gandalf sword it was a replica sword they made when Lord of Rings first came out back in thousand 2001 I forget what year it was when it came out let's put that there I got a cutting board here we're gonna cut the cucumbers 2001 cool and it was a family it was for family and it's found its way to me glam glam drink glam drink thank you spot of tea yeah it's a good sword I love it was the sea buckthorn what you were drinking on stream last week no last week I was drinking what was I drinking last week autumn olive I was drinking all autumn I was drinking this guy and the sea buckthorn we harvested from a community garden like five six years seven years ago now and these are autumn olives that we harvested from the neighborhood as well so a lot of this fruit is actually fruit that I picked no I don't know a lot well a few of them I guess so far three of them we talked about was fruit that we harvested and blackberries as we harvested as well and this was amazing so good so good I've given this a rating of nine out of ten I've given a rating of nine out of ten so initially if something you make doesn't it doesn't taste as good as you think it should or if you like it let it sit add a little sugar see what happens maybe add is too sweet add a little vodka right so don't because see what do you call it the elderberries were like they weren't good at all and then later on we fixed it up it came up 10 out of 10 right cucumber and vodka are amazing I forget who it was that ask me if we had done it or not if we had made it watermelon liqueur tastes amazing needs very little show watermelon liqueur I've never made watermelon liqueur I don't know why I haven't made watermelon liqueur I think would probably make some melon liqueur this summer and by the way I believe it was sleepy waves that mentioned if anything gets will be ready as fast as strawberries I'm guessing that watermelon would be ready pretty fast as well watermelon coconut coconut I think will take a while for it to get ready right and you want to cut them in these things I cut them like this you can also shred them but and these are baby cucumbers I find baby cucumbers is best yeah let's put these guys in here with cucumbers I couldn't cut them early right because they and we're just gonna add vodka to it now I want to sure we save some vodka for topping up some of the other liqueurs so we're not gonna use it all well for these ones we're gonna cover them for sure and we're not gonna add sugar to this this is more gonna be just cucumber infused and it's fantastic fantastic very refreshing for the summer and I'm gonna pack it in as tight as I can right so take a look so I'm gonna keep this on its side that way this is tight as possible did it cut off the ends oh I didn't cut off the ends of the illegal so well that nice is definitely fit for a purpose yeah I sharpened it after the cooking stream we did last month I believe someone asked me when the last time it was that that this knife was sharpened and I mentioned that I hadn't sharpened it for a while but I didn't feel like sharpening it during the stream so after the stream I sharpened it and yeah much much nicer right much much nicer it could be a little bit sharper but I don't want my knife to be like sushi sharp it's I find I do use my fingers when I do things when I cook so I don't want I need a certain pressure to be put on it right it just makes me more comfortable just in case I do a little slip or something like that I don't usually cut myself so I don't want to start accidentally doing you remember that Martin yeah I was like yeah I need to sharpen the knife sometimes it's just we become too lazy right we don't keep our equipment sharp as sharp as it should be so many cucumbers just fill it up right so I'm just stacking them inside make it tight make it tight you'll take one more and what happens is I fill it up with fruit a lot because that way you take less alcohol so and then the flavor goes in more so it's a stronger flavor and if I you know if I want to refill it I like the flavor there's enough essence of the fruit or the vegetables left so you can get multiple fills from it right but at some point you're gonna have to replenish the fruit we just get rid of it because the essence is gone nice this looks phenomenal let's fill it up so we don't need this anymore the cutting board I'm just gonna go put it out of our way make some room for ourselves and bring this guy back just in case we need it might not need it might get rid of it the plate anyway because I don't think I'm gonna be adding too much sugar to anything I usually mainly use the plate when I'm adding sugar to things because if you get a little bit of sugar splish is a pain to clean up right and things get sticky and stuff so we got you know 60% of 1.75 liters so 60% of 1.7 light we use 40% of 1.75 liters of vodka to top up this one and make two 1 liter liqueurs of fruit right and this looks amazing look at this right beautiful beautiful beautiful there's a little bit up top that's sticking out but that's okay once we take a couple of cucumbers out it'll settle settle down no sugar with cucumber I've never done it with sugar and I don't you know I have enough you know what I'm gonna go grab in the small jar cut up another cucumber out a little sugar with a cucumber and just to see what the sugar is like because I've never made it with sugar with cucumber I've just made it with cucumber right so this is what we got so far right nice yeah let's do who was that the spot of tea you're right let's make one with a little bit of sugar and see what it's like I'll be right back yeah let's make one with sugar I said no don't make it with 500 mil but let's make it with 500 mil experiments why not right you don't want to waste all the fruit and all the vodka right so for experiments why not let's make them what do you call it in smaller so we take the plate back we bring the back the cutting board right that's what happens when you put something away you know you're gonna need it right away so let's do how many is that gonna take let's check it out these are a little bit too long for this right so what I'm gonna do I'm gonna cut these in half so we're only gonna make a half the 500 mil so 250 mil that way we're not we're not gonna waste vodka if it doesn't taste good I think it should taste good I didn't put lemon in this by the way the smell of the cucumber was amazing so I don't want to add the lemon in there we already have a gigantic lemon liqueur so what we can do is just cut these long and then cut them in half once if you're a cucumber eater one recipe that I believe I've shown you guys when it comes to just snacks refreshing snacks yogurt with cucumbers chopped up and mulberries or raisins or something sweet mulberries works really phenomenal or raisins and mint dried mint absolutely brilliant with a little bit of salt as well okay let's add two more and then we'll add the sugar why not why not spotty yeah we need to have a sip of something sample something after this this is our last new batch of liqueur we're gonna make and the rest we're just gonna sample and top up either with sugar or vodka so might as well make our two new batches mulberries Persian stores Persian mulberries they go together no I cut up too many well can we do the whole thing actually I'll keep a little bit of the cucumbers they're really delicious cucumbers right so we got this much okay three quarters of 500 mil so let's bring up the plate again and I have a snacks by the way I have some apples here okay so apples and cucumbers nice nice summer spring snack we got a little bit of chocolate here chocolate in the cure why not right and I got some crackers and cheese and crackers and cheese with the cure wine why not right fruit chocolate and crackers and cheese with alcohol the cure is really nice let's bring the plate back we're gonna add some sugar chocolate and coffee yeah you look forward to hearing from that hopefully it'll be good let's check it out how much sugar should we add I'm just gonna add half a cup okay now let's add half a cup let's add slowly let's take a look no let's add the whole half a cup we had spillage that's a lot of sugar let's make it sweet that's a fair bit of sugar right but either way it's okay we had a little spillage of sugar here so I'm just gonna do this and I'm gonna go dump the sugar into the sink so it doesn't spill everywhere but before we do that coffee liquor would be amazing gotta make some coffee liquor should be pretty easy to make just get some coffee beans that you like and put a little sugar or honey or maple syrup that looks great looks great could you make a tea like here I don't know I don't know if you're pretty sure you could I've never tried personally which is weird because I love tea I love my tea if anybody makes some tea liquor please please let us know how it goes let's put okay let's put leave this guy here for now until we make some more let me dump this I dumped in the cucumber cucumber thing we had we used up all those cucumbers that we saw at the beginning right so just two cucumbers that's that's now we need to start sampling some of these liquors right hey Joe lonely piggy just got home from a fantastic shift at work and what better way to relax than was there's your awesome lonely piggy I hope you enjoy and thank you for what you're doing lonely piggy works and all the what do you call it senior center right important lots of stress there it's we see technically with liquor I believe so do you need to flavor it right how's the pineapple we're gonna taste the pineapple one I've been drinking it or we did and then we started drinking it really fast as you pineapple I got ready pretty fast as well that's where tanks away so let's hit it up from this side and go this way okay yeah blackberry blueberry I gave this a seven out of ten before right so I'm gonna taste a little bit my scrawny writing seven out of ten I'm gonna need to give it a white these things are let me break this out I got a little bowl of water just a little bowl of water in case we get all sticky and I do want to wipe these down so when you wipe them down it prevents them from getting getting that build up I haven't opened this one for a while this is going to be strong strong strong I don't know if I'm gonna add more vodka to this I think this is gonna be crazy strong and I don't know if I'm gonna like like the flavor very syrupy look at that it's got a lot of a lot of flavors still left in it let's make sure we like the flavor it's murky this would be amazing on ice cream amazing on ice cream it would be amazing on ice cream really yeah I would fantastic on ice cream I got a whole bunch of glasses here by the way so I'm gonna go through them slowly and if we run out we'll use more I'm not gonna add anything to this I think we're just gonna consume this with ice cream stuff so we'll make a little note I should bring a pen out here I'm gonna try some of the pulp on it see if the pulp is and the pulp is strong usually so hmm it's got the season so I won't put the pulp on there I'm gonna let this one go slowly so basically just gonna use this for ice cream or if you need a serious kick so let me go grab should have done a little bit better prep I'm gonna grab some tape so I can tape this on I'm gonna a pen so I can put ice cream on here we got things pretty close so let's do this ice cream so nothing needed to be done for this this is phenomenal this is the batch we made last year look at the color on this was so delicious so delicious I got the glasses here so they're clinging together so good so good let me take a little sip of water Gina the sampling stream I love the food and drink let's do let's do now let's do let's do these ones I love these are shot glasses that friends friend the family gave to me so dangerous game we're playing here I might not do it this close to the camera when we get a little further down the road okay just to be on the safe side I shouldn't close the tight because we're gonna taste it first see if it needs anything I'm pretty sure gonna top this up with vodka look at that so good oh this is why I went through it so fast it tastes like candy hangy candy amazing I don't want to mess with it that mess with it is too good even though I'm gonna you know we'll be adding more to this once the liquid disappears right but this flavor of the liquid right now we got enough to get at least two rounds of nice sampling out of this right so I don't want to taint the flavor here so when you hit liquor that you love the flavor right if there's enough liquid in there that you can still enjoy it a couple of more times don't top it up wait until it depletes and then top it up right because you're gonna lose that flavor I don't want to lose this flavor this is 10 out of 10 and this was five pound bucket blackberry 2019 we made it in August 1.5 cups of sugar okay quarter a quarter of a 175 liter vodka so we put it on 15 ounces this is a note we made and we made this during a live stream right so this is 10 out of 10 this is phenomenal absolutely so if you want to make and blackberries matter we pick these blackberries so I'm gonna put 10 out of 10 this guy goes back it's clean but always give it a wipe chicho with powdered cinnamon work I should but you're gonna have to let it settle the powdered cinnamon I've never used so I guess it depends how powdery it is right you don't want to to make the alcohol cloudy right so maybe when you're pouring you're gonna have to use a really tight sieve to get rid of the cinnamon Cornelian cherries this was phenomenal and I picked this from a local tree as well at a park okay it's the only Cornelian cherry tree that I found in this city Victoria we knew of three Cornelian cherries in Vancouver but they were being raided so this one no one knows about so I was able to get a couple of buckets of Cornelian cherries from this tree and it's phenomenally cure I think I'm gonna add to this but we'll find out let's have a flavor let's use red let's use red raided this one just have a piece of paper on it didn't we didn't make any notes on this one I don't do this often I'm not gonna touch this so deliciously tangy so good yeah we're not gonna touch this this is 10 out of 10 yellow stickies 10 out of 10 big fat 10 out of 10 and I know exactly what it is right two in a row Gina yeah these are the batches we made these last year as well and usually liqueurs once you've made a certain type of liqueur you learn it well right so in general you're pretty good at off the bat making them good I should top this up a little bit just to cover up the Cornelian cherries you know what let's top it up a little bit just a touch okay at least make sure they're covered with vodka but I'm not gonna add any sugar to it that's not gonna affect the flavor that much and we're gonna be able to shake and then it's just gonna settle here's our pineapple take a look I think the spot of tea that asked about the pineapple right yum yum let's taste this now before we taste this it's a good idea if you're doing a little bit of sampling crackers and cheese something fatty be good to the tummy yeah specter shot spectral shot we made strawberry it was phenomenal went through it crazy fast and it's all four cheese cheddar cheese that was 2019 and only one cup of sugar in this so I think in a cucumber we put way too much and this guy right look and there's a little bit sugar at the bottom I'm not gonna bother mixing it I'll just leave this the way it is and sample it later and if it's sweet enough I won't bother shaking it this was phenomenal right hey you can definitely eat the pineapples as well we've munched on some of the pineapples let's cleanse the palate Cornelian cherry is amazing Cheryl but I love sour cherries and whiskey yeah that is super delicious super delicious I'm just gonna top it up with vodka I don't want to start taking smaller samples and this is nine out of ten ten out of ten like it really depends if you like pineapples or if you don't take larger samples for the contest this is ten out of ten to this is phenomenal and went to a potluck at the beginning of the year and I took five sample I believe five of these liqueurs just sample little jars of them and people love them they thought it was amazing oh we didn't wipe this one down it's okay that one doesn't mean wiping that I'm not gonna sample the little guy what is this this is a September 12th gin blackberry right now okay I'm not gonna mix my gin and vodka right now so I'm just gonna keep this here I just keep this usually someone you know we have friends over and you know we do a little taste testing of the cures I ask him if you know they prefer gin I got a little bit of gin but this is almost done I'm not gonna make any more gin so in general at my house you want the cure is vodka-based it becomes too complicated managing two different spirits okay this is blackberry and I gave it a rating of seven out of ten now we're gonna sample it let's crack it open and see see if we'll feel like sampling it right now yeah I'm not gonna taste this right now I'm gonna let the flavors of the the liqueur we've tried just let it linger for a while because they were amazing I don't want to mix it up with too much different flavor I just know I haven't touched this we'll mess around with it later whoa look at the color of this one added sugar 2018 blackberry and blueberry strong 2016 right so added sugar so I made this in 2016 okay and we added sugar in 2018 I believe we did that during live stream do you have clips channel in discord I don't think we've made one Gina that's a good idea we don't have a clips channel that's a great idea Gina if you send a reminder either me or one of the mods will make that way we can remember some of the things that we're saying oh yeah a spot of tea says we see how are you doing oh look at the color on this oh my god this is brilliant this isn't blackberry and blueberry nice this is the what do you call it elderberry this is the other jar of elderberry we made oh I mislabeled this look at this look at this look at this look at this look at this look at this look at this oh my god that smells so amazing so amazing okay I've used up these ones I'm gonna put the the glasses the shot glasses that we use to one side just because I want flavors to mix too much I think we use this one too oh no that was a purple we use we use this guy we're gonna use this guy oh my god this smells like phenomenal oh my god have friends if I give them this the flip they'll just go wow wow that it actually tastes very medicinal which elderberries are yeah take a look these are the elderberries look at this phenomenal absolutely beautiful let's put this I believe in 2018 I tasted it I didn't like it if we added sugar it's the same deal as the previous one so this isn't let's make a fresh fresh sticky strong strong indeed right added sugar in 2018 made it in 2016 right where is it 2016 9 out of 10 but is it 10 out of 10 so this is 2016 added sugar to 18 elderberry strong 10 out of 10 as you age them they became the flavor just grows and grows might be here a while she showed the cliff channel now exists under general let me know if you wanted so not under general is great because I guess we'll cover everything for clips thanks spot of tea that's awesome spider-man are you doing so this was the other elderberry this guy right check out this is the other elderberry and this is check this out I corrected this one before I called this one blackberry and blueberry and then changed it to elderberry so it's the same deal as the other one I called this one 10 out of 10 right so we're gonna sample this one as well and probably add vodka to it we're gonna probably add vodka to it the smell once you make it you you won't forget the smell of the elderberry the cure it's magic I'm gonna have a little bit of cheese and cracker that was really good we had the elderberry in there so we just need a little get a little bit off this one let me cleanse my Utah all you got is be this is taking me a long time this is years of effort years of just making making growing I don't know growing but letting it sit and the collection is growing anyway so it takes time it takes time absolutely phenomenal I need to have vodka I really don't want to but I need to there's enough to get a little bit out of that but I don't want the top to because the top is sitting outside of vodka so I'm gonna add a little bit of vodka just to cover it up there good enough things I think these are leaves in there a couple elderberry leaves that have been marinating in there so put these in this let's put the cucumber over here get it out of our hair let's take the leaf out leave for stem I don't know I think the stem spoiling us so it wasn't the stem I'm gonna give it a wipe I'm gonna keep the same thing just as a reminder that I forgot to label these correctly chichu you're taking so many shots wow is it yeah maybe just just sampling right and they're little they're not full shots right wait so you can't just let the fruit stick out you can you can really I've had fruit stick out but because I go through it every now and then sometimes I just top it up right because when it sticks out it gets hit with oxygen it gets hit with oxygen there's a little bit of leakage here so I'm gonna go wash my hands after this I'm gonna go wash my hands right now I'll be back in one minute not one minute five seconds yeah I think so because it's got sugar but you know is basically vodka so has been hoarding all the mason jars all mason jars are gonna be in high demand this summer and we've talked about when certain other things where you need to do prep for what's happening right now this summer if you're into making preserves and stuff you get yourself your mason jars so you can start making the preserves and stuff early on right and I recommend doing so first autumn all of autumn all of I've already tasted we did during live stream so I'm not gonna taste it okay ferment as a sauerkraut yeah sauerkraut now I'm not gonna taste this one because I know exactly what it tastes like because I've been sampling it should we knock it let's say let's taste it let's taste it very little very little very little I think I might have added a little bit of vodka to this so if we did and if it's not sweet enough I might add some sugar but my first try at fermenting raw potatoes failed oh wow have you ever tried fermenting raw sweet no I haven't legendary raw boss potatoes are so abundant we can just get them anywhere right I've never made potatoes tomatoes yeah tomato pickles and stuff yeah so good so good yeah that's so good we're gonna leave this alone I'm gonna mess with this and you can tell take a look at this the top part is more I think some of the stuff that's oxygenated like oxygen has gotten to it so it gets darker the bottom it's just preserved that's the color you get off autumn olives when you pick them right so it's just preserved less oxygen less what do you call it what the word is called deterioration I guess aging oh this baby this baby did I put 10 out of 10 on that one autumn olive we have 9 out of 10 which is fine 9 out of 10 10 out of 10 plum added sugar August 2019 and I called this a 10 out of 10 so far this side is is where you want to be at right 9 out of 10 10 out of 10 so let's check this side delicious we're gonna have a cracker oxidation oxidation thank you very much dark root ruler with Utah Jazz yeah sweet tasting booze is both good and bad it sneaks up on you because it doesn't feel like you're drinking alcohol at a certain point yeah and that's why a lot of people who are avid alcohol aficionados which I don't recommend by the way you destroy your body they tend to stay away from sweet drinks because first of all you get hangover second of all you don't know how much you're drinking and also it's it's it's not as healthy this is the crab apple right this is a plum plum absolutely beautiful we're not gonna touch that we're not gonna touch that and you can eat the fruit on this but I just don't feel like eating the fruit right now I just feel like sampling the liqueurs right and we've eaten the fruits out of this before on previous streams and it's got enough alcohol on there so it's covered so we're okay lots of reserve verse troll reserve a stall stay staying healthy and getting give it a wipe as soon as this physical distancing is over we're gonna invite some people over and have a liquor party here's another plum and this is the seeds from plum jam and this is good for ice cream dessert ice cream 10 out of 10 so that's why I listed here right ice cream so this is another one that's 10 out of 10 for ice cream we're not gonna sample it it's very thick but it would go it would go it goes amazing with chocolate like we've had right it's phenomenal for chocolate with chocolate so we've got two liqueurs here that are very much ice cream so I'm gonna put them together good stuff so I have our two ice cream liqueurs over there so if you want to mix with ice cream we know where they are right that way I don't have to stand on top of it look around to see which one has the ice cream label on it saucy Rossy how are you doing hope you're doing well hope you're having some fine snacks and drinks and just enjoying this Thursday afternoon we've gone all the way to here right halfway that's due and we're not gonna touch these ones look at this look at what we added to our liquor collection look at what we added to our liquor collection this isn't liquor it's infuse I guess but this one is right she showed you absolutely must read Wolfram physics project I know Wolfram I used Wolfram alpha but I don't know what his latest physics project is I don't like the only thing I don't like about Wolfram is he's putting copyright and all this stuff on it last I checked anyway so if he uses software he has it's not I don't know if it's open source or not but I could be mistaken so double check on that Mandarin and Kiwi yeah lonely Piggy Mandarin and Kiwi and the little one and a little one and this is cucumber as well but we added sugar to this one as well okay so we're gonna see what the what cucumber liqueur tastes like right because this one is the cure and the beauty of it is if the sweet cucumber liqueur like the cucumber liqueur tastes good we can just add sugar to this guy right this is the delicious crab apple I put eight out of ten on this one and I called it delicious my crappy writing let's do a little sampling it's a little murky so I think a little bit of vodka to top it up the plants in your house are awesome thank you very much do you have a lot of nuts because of the no not really we do we go through problems of sometimes get hit with bugs and stuff and we isolate the contaminate trim so we maintain right I really like that desk maybe I should call it the minibar that many I know I don't know what do you call these things I call it my liquor cabinet strong we need to add strong on here we're gonna fill it up we're gonna top it up let's talk about let's cover it up because the flavor is great but it is strong so I'm gonna add a note strong and that's one good thing with going through this on a regular basis going through the cure cabinet with a regular basis you can change the description of some of the color of those is my yeah and this is very murky I mean you can tell it's very murky right so this one's almost almost an ice cream liquor right so you know more well I can't move it over but I'm gonna put ice cream on here as well and I rated 8 out of 10 I'm gonna keep it 8 out of 10 as well ice cream we'll just eat it as 8 out of 10 and let it settle look at this one we're talking about oxidation take a look here's oxidation right crazy beautiful beautiful chicho is the vodka use 40% alcohol yes 40% you touch ass where is it strong no we've made some that's stronger that's a it's 200 no 150 proof or whatever it is but that one is more of a tincture it's it's too strong to drink right and we made it with seabuck thorn because it's medicinal so you can use droplets under your tongue 40% is sufficient that's strong enough like really chicho after shot number 10 I feel a tingling in my fingers I think it's beginning to affect me Martin hey guys envious how are you doing is your grandfather one still here yeah yeah and I took one of my grandfather's one it's basically it's become paste sort of cherry paste and it's in the fridge okay so that one I grab a spoonful every now and then I just eat a spoonful it's precious all right so with very the very little sampling yeah and the seed one still here 40 plus years this is seven and a half out of 10 oh we poured a heavy one with a seven average we could pour it back this is a fresh glass right crab apple more time needed added sugar one cup 2018 okay so I'm gonna pour a little bit back because this is a fresh cup we haven't used the green one yet we just want to sample it that's enough sampling beautiful color beautiful color the chat for some reason pause so I'm gonna go yeah sugar did it delicious delicious this is not seven and a half this is a nine out of ten a nine out of ten beautiful yeah looks like amazing just like crispy whiskey right nine out of ten that was phenomenal nine out of ten not seven feeling warm and the crab apples we picked as well right cherry take a look at the cherry this was amazing we made the video making the cherry the cure right I want to pop a cracker and cheese meet this from frozen cherries frozen cherries won't come sugar half a 26 or vodka so 13 ounces of vodka went initially into this not as you tell we've been sampling we actually haven't had any for a long time date what cracker I don't know the names but they're really good they're like it's I would look at the package but what we end up doing because when we're doing shopping we're whatever we're bringing in with packaging we're transferring it over to Ziploc bags or containers and stuff and throwing the packaging away or washing everything right with crackers and stuff we just get rid of the packaging right so I forget which ones they are ginger and black tea is aged well 20% increase in quality nice from seven and a half to nine awesome yeah it's aged well age fantastic so let's bring another one I got a whole bunch of shot glasses here by the way two three sets so I'm pretty sure we're gonna top this up that's aged really well wow wow I'm gonna eat one of the cherries we had should be on we're not gonna have sugar we should be top it up I think we'll top it up saucy Rossi your question what made me and decide to start making my own liqueurs my grandfather just in the family three generations liqueur has been something that our family has been making it's just passed down from generation to generation and I'm just passing it down right now but basically my grandfather I learned it from my grandfather my mother and my father right we're gonna top this up a little bit that being said no one would as hardcore as I sort of kicked it up a notch right these to have one two three jars of liqueur just maybe three just for sampling special occasions and whatnot I guess I just end up having more special occasions maybe yeah and that's one of responsibilities we have is you know future generate our previous generations is to learn from them and if we like something about what they've done is to include it into our lives and if we can't kick it up a notch right I'm just gonna mix it that's it make sure it's sealed I didn't add too much I like the flavor so I'm not gonna mess with it and we're not hurting for liqueurs right so if this thing runs low you can just fill it up slowly I don't want to mess around with the flavor too much and this thing was 9 out of 10 easy we'll give it a 9 out of 10 the cherry flavor isn't as strong as initially like when we first made it on with the first cycle through I think the cherry is the second cycle through blueberry we made the blueberry as well at the same time as we made the cherry and the strawberry the strawberry finished we ate all the strawberries it was over right blueberry 2000 or it could be all the sampling we've done no I'm gonna crack this open for a while plant care possibly maybe we do this summer but plant care the kicker with doing plant care is when I'm doing plant care getting dirty and stuff right so doing a stream becomes a little bit more difficult but maybe we do this thing has been pressurized let's check it out oh that's too big oh spillage spillage then using one piece of paper for the ratings yeah maybe it becomes too complicated my my liqueur collection is like my comic book collection or randomized we're lucky today we organized it with the liquor the ice cream liquors over there actually we have one more here so still randomized this is blueberry it's very murky if it has the flavor I'm gonna add vodka beautiful very beautiful I'm just gonna add a little bit right just to fill up the blueberries a little bit more you can tell it's not much right no driving for Chico for a few hours not that I'm going anywhere right ten out of ten ten out of ten so good so good by the way gang thank you for the follows thank you for the subs sorry if I missed any of them and I know I have missed the follows appreciate them so this guy has a spot of tea my grandfather's so gravy BBY we're making liqueurs well we're sampling liqueurs right now I don't know much about what vodka is absolutely good one I like absolute envious I only know Greg who's Grey Goose is good as an expensive one Grey Goose used to be more expensive but can't mess with this look at this look at the resonance of that take a look when you drink wine they say the legs of the wine right look at this I guess for liqueurs is the resonance of it and this thing was amazing with ice cream but you don't pollute the taste of this with ice cream this is pure pure brilliance in heaven heaven I wish I could get you guys to taste this and you can yeah started now cherry seeds in 40 years time you're gonna have a sample actually in 20 years time you will look at that basically everything goes well with ice cream yeah 40 years 40 years saucy Rossi 40 years grandfather thank you grandfather no messing around how has the foot is strong become stronger like it's more pronounced in large part right cherry seeds grandfather 10 out of 10 this is the same deal right but a bigger jar if both of these were in a different jar so I transfer them to this and that oh I forgot to put the label back on the other one right grandfather so let's put this one back we're not gonna taste this it tastes the same as that it's very resiny murky okay and it's you know bring it out so you see the seeds that's called a quantum and that's like a quantum entangled liquor to the time your grand grandpa was alive yeah yeah tastes the same phenomenal and we're not gonna mess with it that's good cinnamon cinnamon cinnamon I think this is cinnamon okay so let's put these here let me put the label of the cherry most sample both of them okay does it ratio sugar alcohol change based on the vision for sure yeah gravy boy what I do what we did for the pineapple the cornedin cherry and the blackberry right but depending on you know sometimes absolutely beautiful very nice so strong so strong like crazy strong that is the strongest one we've tasted without a doubt like huge right so even even what I poured is too much okay even what I poured is too much we're not gonna touch it medicinal straight up right here let's leave this here because I'm gonna taste this one as well are you still planning to test out the voice channel after for sure spot a T we do you guys have to run me through it by the way of how I'm supposed to you know what I need to do you mean strong vodka taste or strong fruit is strong vodka taste when I say strong strong vodka taste okay in general in general my glasses right here sleepywebs I just made the chat the the screen bigger oh this tastes like candy look at that look at that those are cinnamon sticks okay and this is for the apple sauce that we made so we're gonna sample this I don't think this is gonna be strong vodka flavor I think this is gonna be strong apple cinnamon flavor okay I still don't get what actually needs testing but yeah I'm available yeah people want to chat we chat for short little bit it's really nice and sunny after this I need to go for a walk that's unique we do this is the first one we have like this color I think so red look at that like years ago right it's pale in comparison right like literally it's pale right so the flavor of it was completely gone chichu when are you gonna teach us how to cook some traditional Iranian cuisine I will legendary Rob boss maybe the summer but this summer I think we're gonna do a lot of cooks where we're doing a lot of preserves to prep for the coming fall winter have you ever tried making amari up okay that's it like not much it was nothing top it up let's do it in general no in general no because that way if you add more fresh fruit if I'm gonna
