Compound gin

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.
