DIY Vodka Infusions, Part 2 - Basil
 
 
Make your own basil vodka - you won't find this in the liquor store!
Category: Drinks
Ingredients
  • 1 1.5 liter bottle of good vodka (I used Svedka)
  • 1 bunch fresh basil, washed and dried
Instructions
  1. Place basil in the bottom of your glass infusion jar. Pour vodka over leaves, ensuring that leaves stay submerged. Close jar tightly and set in a cool dark place (I just use a corner of the kitchen and throw a towel over the jar - you can also refrigerate it).
  2. Allow to infuse for up to, but not more than three days. Shake gently once a day, and taste if desired to check progress. Strain through coffee filters into a large measuring cup, then use a funnel to pour back into the original vodka bottle, or into decorative flasks for gifts.
Notes
Special equipment: Glass jar with lid Coffee filters Patience
