- 12 ounces vodka (½ 750 ML bottle)
- 1 tablespoon juniper berries
- 2 cardamom pods
- ¼ teaspoon coriander seeds
- 2 dehydrated orange/lemon slices
- ⅛ teaspoon lavender (dried)
- ⅛ teaspoon anise seeds
- 2 star anise
- marigold flower bud (optional)
Sterilize a 12-ounce or larger mason jar. Pour ½ of a 750 ml bottle of vodka into the jar.
Add juniper berries, cardamom pods, coriander seeds, dehydrated orange slice, lemon peel, or both. Stir dried lavender, anise seeds, marigold flower, and star anise into the jar.
Seal and shake the bottle, then store it on the counter for 48 hours. When it's time, strain the alcohol through a soup bag into another bottle or jar.
- Allspice berries, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves, and fennel seeds are just some of the ingredients that you can add to a homemade Infused Gin.
- Infused gin takes on the color of the herbs, spice, and botanicals, which gives it a yellowish tinge, so don't be surprised when your homemade gin is not clear.
- Before serving infused gin, plop a few juniper berries in your cocktail for a beautiful presentation.
