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

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.
