Ingredients
- 1 cup flavorings see notes
- 1 liter vodka
Instructions
- Select your ingredients, such as fresh fruit, spices or herbs. Chop larger ingredients into small pieces that will fit in your jar or bottle.
- Fill a clean jar or an empty vodka bottle with the ingredients, then top with your chosen vodka.
- Seal the jar tightly and place it in a dark place, like a pantry or cupboard, for at least 3 days to infuse, but preferably let it infuse for 2 to 3 weeks. A spicy vodka infusion doesn’t need more than 3 to 5 days, as it gets spicier the longer it sits. But with a delicate infusion, even a month would do well. Taste frequently until your desired flavor is reached.
- Once the time is up, open the jar and strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any chunks or solids. Discard the leftover ingredients. After straining, store the infused vodka in a clean bottle or jar.
