Compound gin
- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- no cook
- Easy
- makes 700ml
Ingredients
- 700ml bottle good quality vodka (we used a rye vodka)
- 2 tbsp juniper berries
- 6 cardamom pods
- pinch dried rose petals
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- strip of lemon peel
Method
- STEP 1
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.
- STEP 2
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.
