Sloe Vodka...with Maple Syrup!

[British Red]

I thought our latest video might appeal to some of the more discerning members here

I promise you, this is so much better than basic sloe gin

Watched and liked. I was wondering about playing with more natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. Do the tend to fall out of solution over time? It seems a shame to take some effort in clearing your tinctures if they only end up with a residue in the bottom of the bottle later. If you’ve any observations I’d be glad to hear them.

It's a complex question. Sugars should dissolve fully but other matter ( e.g. suspended pollen in honey) won't. Generally, if it dissolves, it stays dissolved. This is why I filter after sweetening.
