Gin Ingredients

Method

Gin Preparation

  1. 1

    Infuse the Botanicals

    In a large glass jar, combine all the dry botanicals: juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, orris root, citrus peels, and cardamom pods. Pour the high proof neutral spirit over the botanicals, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly.

  2. 2

    Steep

    Let the mixture steep in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours and up to 5 days. The longer it steeps, the more intense the flavor.

  3. 3

    Strain

    After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into another clean jar to remove all solid botanicals.

  4. 4

    Dilute with Water

    Add the water to the strained liquid to reduce the alcohol content to your desired level. Stir well.

  5. 5

    Bottle

    Transfer the gin into a clean bottle and seal. Your homemade gin is now ready to be enjoyed!
