Vitamin D deficiency is established as <20 ng/mL in adults. So far, there is no established level for infants and children; however, most providers use the adult standard. Some providers go even further and consider all levels <30 ng/mL to define deficiency in children.
Schnapps is a type of distilled spirit that has two meanings. Essentially, schnapps are made by fermenting the fruit along with the base liquor (usually brandy), whereas liqueurs are often made by steeping fruits in alcohol after fermentation and/or distillation.
At each home, someone would mash fruitsâusually apples, pears, plums, and cherriesâand let them ferment for several days, then distill them into a strong, clear liquor of around 65 percent alcohol. Water would then be added to make the drink palatable, bringing the alcohol content down to around 40 or 50 percent. This was real schnaps (as compared with schnapps, the sugar-sweetened, cordial-like American version I remember from my youth).
