3-Step Juniper Berry Infused Gin

Have you ever considered making homemade gin? I hadn't either, I thought the process was way too complicated. Then I learned that you can make Infused Gin using vodka and juniper berries.

Ingredients

– vodka  –  juniper berries – cardamom pods – coriander seeds – dehydrated orange (or orange/lemon peel) – lavender (dried) – anise seeds – star anise marigold flower bud (optional)

–  Pour ½ of a 750 ml bottle of vodka into a clean 12 -ounce mason jar.

STEP 1

Add juniper berries, cardamom pods, coriander seeds, dehydrated orange slice, lemon peel, or both.

STEP 2

Some gin recipes call for ripened juniper berries while others call for green juniper berries. I use a combination of the two.

Tip

Stir dried lavender, anise seeds, marigold flower, and star anise into the jar.

STEP 3

Seal and shake the bottle, then store it on the counter for 48 hours.

STEP 4

Strain the alcohol through a soup bag into another bottle or jar.

STEP 5

Enjoy as is, or use in your favorite cocktail.

STEP 6

Enjoy!!!
