Jasmine


10.31.11 Jasmine

Having no idea what the recipe would be to make Jasmine vodka, we followed ginfool's recipe for Elder Flower infusions "Elderflower 1/3cup :1cup 28 hours. New Amsterdam much more successful than Tanqueray. Lighter and more floral result. Try it with ginger and simple syrup and/or ginger ale."

375 ml Fris. That translates to ~1/2 cup of Jasmine flowers for 375ml of vodka. We used the kitchen scale to measure that 1/2c jasmine flowers weighs 3/8 oz. Infusion started 10.31.11 at 10:30pm. E thinks we need to be careful because this one could turn bitter quickly.

Banana



10.26.11 We're back!

This is our first new infusion after a long time away. We went for a test size (6.25 oz Fris) because we're really not sure how this one will turn out. We used half a banana, cut into slices. The banana was really ripe, so we're suspecting this will be quicker than normal.
