Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Prepare the Malt Wine Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the malt wine and water. Stir well to mix the ingredients evenly.

  2. 2

    Infuse with Botanicals

    In a small saucepan, add the juniper berries, coriander seeds, dried orange peel, anise seed, and sugar. Pour in the malt wine mixture and heat gently over low heat for about 10 minutes. Do not boil. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar.

  3. 3

    Cool and Strain

    Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely. Once cooled, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bottle to remove the solid botanicals.

Final Touches

  1. 4

    Add Flavor Enhancements

    Add fresh lemon zest and mint leaves to the strained liquid. Seal the bottle and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. 5

    Serve

    After the infusion period, serve the Bols genever chilled in a glass or use it as a base for cocktails.
