Before you get started, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. The cornmeal will give your moonshine that signature corn flavor, while the sugar will provide the necessary sweetness. Yeast is essential for fermentation and will give your moonshine that extra kick. And for a touch of fall flavor, we'll be adding cinnamon sticks, apples, cloves, and nutmeg. Finally, water will be used to dilute the moonshine to your desired strength.
To start, you'll need to make a mash using the cornmeal, sugar, and water. This will serve as the base for your moonshine. Once the mash is made, add the yeast and let it ferment for a few days. This will allow the mixture to develop a strong alcohol content.
Once the fermentation process is complete, it's time to add the fall spices. Crush the cinnamon sticks, slice the apples, and add them to the mixture along with the cloves and nutmeg. Let this mixture sit for an additional day to allow the flavors to infuse with the moonshine.
After the final day, it's time to distill your moonshine. This process involves heating the mixture and collecting the alcohol vapors that are released. This will produce a clear liquid that is ready to be bottled and served.
Now that your thanksgiving moonshine is complete, it's time to add a personal touch. Consider decorating the bottles with fall-themed labels or ribbons. You can also add a personalized message or quote to each bottle to make your guests feel extra special.
So there you have it, a delicious and unique addition to your thanksgiving celebration. This moonshine recipe is not only delightful to drink, but it also provides a fun and creative activity for you and your loved ones to enjoy together. Happy Thanksgiving!
