BLUEBERRY LIQUEUR RECIPE
enhanced with lemon, fresh ginger, cilantro & mint!
INGREDIENTS
1-1/2 C. Vodka
1 C. Fresh, Blueberries, Halved
Handful of Whole Blueberries
1/2 Tsp. Grated Fresh Ginger
3 Lemon Twists
1 Tsp. Chopped Cilantro Stalks
4 Leaves of Fresh Mint, Chopped Loose
1/4 C. Sugar (+/- depending on your tastes)
TOOLS
Quart Size Mason Jar
Large Metal Strainer
Cheesecloth
2 Quart Bowl
Funnel
DIRECTIONS:
Combine all the ingredients together in an infusing jar. Cap off, store in a cool, dark place and allow to infuse for a minimum of a week. Shake jar every day and check for flavor intensity every few days after the first week.
The times here are minimum. The longer you infuse, the deeper your blueberry and other flavors will be. I've never made it to two months and I was tasting a pretty nice flavor within a week, but I left it to distill for a whole month, filtered it and let it sit for another 2 weeks and the flavor was even deeper with the fruitiness of the blueberry at the front, followed close by the lemon then hitting you on the back with the ginger, cilantro and mint! Just PERFECT!!!
Now, you wouldn't think I could do anything more with blueberries but you're wrong! I still had enough left over to make
BLUEBERRY SALSA and BLUEBERRY NACHOS!
My tongue might be blue but I'm not after all those blueberry antioxidants!
Cheers!
