Once the pitcher is jar, add your favorite brandy (grappa or rakija).

Gently mix the contents and close the jar tightly with its lid.

Hold the mixture for 10 days. After 10 days, place the jar on the balcony or terrace and expose it to the sun for 40 days.

Occasionally shake the jar very subtly.

After 40 days filter the liqueur with a cheesecloth.

That’s it! The only thing left to do is to serve the very cold rozulin in a small glass.
