Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh blueberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 whole lemon zest
- 750 milliliters gin
Instructions
Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.
In a large glass jar with a lid, combine the fresh blueberries and granulated sugar.
Using the back of a spoon, gently mash the blueberries to release some of their juices while not completely crushing them.
Add the lemon zest to the jar, ensuring you avoid the bitter white pith as you zest the lemon.
Pour the gin over the blueberries, sugar, and lemon zest. Stir gently to combine.
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place.
Let the mixture infuse for 1-2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every 2-3 days to ensure even flavor distribution.
After 1-2 weeks, strain the gin through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar to remove the solids.
Store the infused gin in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for up to a year. Serve as desired.
