Christmas Gin

• vodka700ml ml
• juniper berries↗2 tbsp tbsp
• orange zest
• cloves↗4
• cinnamon stick↗1

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Open the bottle of vodka and add the juniper berries, orange zest, cloves and cinnamon. (If you want a stronger flavor, first crush the juniper berries in a mortar.) Close the bottle cap and leave it in a cool, dark place for 12–24 hours, but no longer, otherwise the flavor may become unbalanced.

2. 2

   Strain the infused vodka into a jug through a fine sieve (or a coffee filter works well), then pour it back into a clean bottle. It will keep for several months in a cool dark place. Mix with tonic or use in a martini.
