Prepare the Apricots
Begin by chopping the dried apricots into small pieces to allow for better infusion of flavor.
Create the Apricot Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the chopped dried apricots, sugar, and citric acid. Mix well to ensure that the sugar and citric acid are evenly distributed among the apricots.
Add Water and Yeast
Pour the water into the apricot mixture. Sprinkle the yeast over the top, allowing it to activate for about 10 minutes.
Strain the Mixture
After fermentation, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the mixture, pressing down on the apricots to extract as much liquid as possible.
Add Brandy
Transfer the strained liquid back into a clean jar or bottle and add the brandy. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Bottle and Age
Seal the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Let the apricot brandy age for at least 2 months to develop its full flavor.
Serve
After aging, the apricot brandy is ready to be served. Enjoy it chilled or as part of a cocktail.
