ALCOHOL BEVERAGE BASE PREPARATION METHOD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC C12G3/06 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: roof avens rootstock and basil at a ratio of 1:1 are moistened with water and maintained at a temperature of 30-35°C during 30-60 minutes. Then one performs the components pouring with a water-and-alcohol liquid with 40-45% vol. proof at a ratio of 1:2, infusing during 5-15 days and infusion draining. One performs pouring with 70-80°C hot boiled water, infusing during 12-16 hours. After draining one separates part of water-and-alcohol and water infusion, filters both parts and combines the main infusions. Sugar syrup is produced by way of the water-alcohol infusion heating to 50-60°C, sugar strewing (under stirring conditions) in an amount of 1 kg per 0.5 l of infusion till complete dissolution and filtration. The colorant is obtained by way of water infusion addition into sugar in an amount of 1-2% of the sugar weight, heating under stirring conditions till sugar melting, the temperature conditioning to 180-200°C, sugar caramelisation, introduction of water infusion heated 60-65°C till the colorant density is equal to 1.35 g/cm³ and cooling under stirring conditions to 60-65°C. One blends 65.8%-sugar syrup, the colorant, the combined infusion, ascorbic and citric acids and potassium sorbate; the base is subjected to hot dispensing.

EFFECT: enhancement of organoleptic indices and their stability in case of storage during 1 year.
