Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Transfer the blackberries, cinnamon stick, bay leaf and sugar into a large sterilized jar. Fill with vodka, close the jar with a lid and shake to dissolve the sugar. Store in a cool, dark place and turn the jar daily during the first week.

2. 2

   After two to three weeks, strain the vodka through a fine sieve (see tip below) and pour into bottles, then label them. It will retain its colour for several months and be safe to drink for up to a year. Use the infused blackberries in baking or meringue‑based desserts.
