MAKE YOUR OWN HOMEMADE GIN FROM VODKA

Gin recipe 1.75 liters vodka 30 gram juniper berries 6 grams grains of paradise 6 grams coriander 4 grams licorice root ½ teaspoon or 1 gram orange peel ½ teaspoon or 1 gram lemon peel ½ teaspoon or 1 gram lime zest I found all these spices and herbs at my local spice house with little trouble. And I’ve been using New Amsterdam vodka as the base, but any brand should work fine. I used a kitchen scale to weigh out each ingredient. The scale wasn’t quite sensitive enough to measure 1 gram or less of the ingredients. That’s why I have the orange peel, lemon peel, and lime zest listed as ½ teaspoon. From my best estimate, that should be close to 1 gram if you have a more sensitive scale than me. Directions Open the vodka and empty out two shots worth of the liquor. This will make room for the spices and herbs to be added. Weigh out each ingredient and use a funnel to easily drop them into the bottle of vodka. Once everything is in, tightly close the bottle, and turn it upside down several times to mix. Let it sit as the spices and herbs infuse the vodka with flavor. Each day I pour out just a sip or two of the gin to track its flavor progression. Once you’re happy with the flavor, drain out all the spices and store the gin in its original bottle. I’ve found that three days is a good amount of time for the alcohol to be infused with the flavor.
