Every year I prepare this walnut tincture with alcohol and I am always pleased with the result. The walnut liqueur “Nochino” is prepared, or rather infused and matured for quite a long time, so it is desirable to prepare it every year.
It is incredible. Tasty, slightly sour, moderately sweet, with a special, persistent aroma. I can say for sure – such a liqueur is worth making at least once, and then you will want to make it again. The only problem is that the tincture will have to be infused for a year, there are options where it is tried earlier, but I have both a three-year-old and a two-year-old liqueur in the cupboard, and yes, the longer it sits, the tastier and more aromatic it becomes. So let’s be patient.The best meatballs for Lent – with mushrooms and vegetables

Lenten croissants with walnuts – The tastiest croissants you can make during Lent
Put the walnuts in a two-liter jar, add nutmeg, cloves and lemon/orange peel. Whenever you make walnut liqueur, you can play with this combination of ingredients. You can add coffee beans, orange peel, cinnamon, vanilla, coffee – I tested them and was happy with the spices chosen.
