Prep time
5 mins
Ingredients
- Coriander Seed: 1 tsp coriander seeds
- Cardamom Pod: 6 cardamom pods
- Vodka: 700ml bottle good quality vodka (we used a rye vodka)
- Juniper Berries: 2 tbsp juniper berries
- Rose Petals: pinch dried rose petals
- Lemon Peel: strip of lemon peel
Directions
- Open the bottle of vodka and add the rest of the ingredients. For a stronger flavour it's a good idea to bruise the cardamom pods and juniper berries in a pestle and mortar first. Put the lid back on the bottle and leave in a cool dark place for 24 hrs.
- Strain the infused mixture into a jug through a sieve lined with coffee filter paper, then pour back into the bottle to store. Will keep for months in a cool dark place. Use as you would any gin, so great with tonic or in a Martini.
