FLAVOURED GINS (Make your own!)
This video is about making flavoured gins. You can use your own distilled gins or use shop bought gins. If you do the latter just use a standard un-flavoured gin as the base. I will make 4 gins - my recipes are below but in truth you can just experiment.
I used 2 litre jars. All the fruits are steeped in gin for approximately 2 weeks then strained and filtered. Keep the fruit to make ice cream or boozy fruit crumbles/pies.
