Red Berry Gin
Red Berry Gin
OMG! This stuff is just gorgeous, better than I expected and so easy to do.
I took a large screw-topped jar, filled it with mixed berries and currants and scraped the seeds from a vanilla bean in there, added the bean itself and then filled with some high-quality gin.
Left it for 2 weeks in the fridge and then strained through a large cotton tea-bag that I have. You could use an unused stocking or a coffee filter.
The colour is exactly what you see here - there was a lot more of it too, but it’s just too yummy to last!
I’m on to my second run of this one and have just picked up some passionfruits to try next.
