1
Prepare the Juniper Berries
Crush the juniper berries slightly using a mortar and pestle to release their essential oils.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large glass jar, combine the crushed juniper berries, neutral grain spirit, and all the botanicals (coriander seeds, angelica root, dried orange peel, cardamom pods, licorice root, and orris root).
3
Infuse
Seal the jar tightly and let the mixture infuse in a cool, dark place for 24 to 48 hours, shaking it gently once or twice a day.

4
Prepare for Distillation
After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove solids.
5
Dilute with Water
Add the 250 ml of water to the strained liquid to dilute the spirit.
6
Distill
Transfer the mixture into a still (or pot still) and distill according to the equipment's instructions, collecting the distillate in a separate container.
7
Bottle the Gin
Once distilled, bottle the gin in a clean glass bottle and seal it tightly. Let it rest for a few days to allow flavors to meld.
