1
Infuse the Botanicals
In a large glass jar, combine the juniper berries, coriander seeds, angelica root, orris root, and citrus peel. Use a muddler or a pestle to gently crush the juniper berries and release their oils.
2
Add Water
Pour 750 ml of water into the jar over the crushed botanicals. Stir the mixture well to combine all the ingredients.
3
Steep the Mixture
Cover the jar with a lid and let it steep for 24-48 hours at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld together.
4
Strain the Mixture
After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove the solid ingredients.
5
Combine with Neutral Spirit
Add 500 ml of neutral spirit (vodka or grain alcohol) to the strained mixture. Stir well to combine.
6
Bottle Your Gin
Transfer the gin into clean, sterilized bottles. Seal the bottles tightly and label them.
7
Mature the Gin
For best results, let the gin sit for at least a week to allow the flavors to develop further before using.
