How to make Lambanog?

Lambanog can be produce using the process of distillation similar to the fractioning in oil refinery. In the distillation factory, where the people of Infanta, Quezon called them “putuhan”, around 30 gallons of “tuba” is pour in a big container where it is heated to a certain degree such that the alcohol content of “tuba” will boil and evaporate. The evaporated alcohol will then be condensed using flowing water at the top of the distillation chamber to liquefy the alcohol in gaseous phase. This liquefied alcohol is already the wine that is extracted from “tuba”. The distillation process usually takes one to two hours to collect 5 gallons of wine and it depends on the amount of heat applied. “Putuhan” is usually made of clay and commonly situated in areas near to river and some bodies of water where there is a sufficient amount of water to be use in distillation process.
A 5 gallons of lambanog usually cost 200 to 500 pesos depending on the amount of supply and demand. lambanog is 100% natural and does not contain harmful chemicals just like other commercially produced wine and alcohol.
