Homemade Aquavit

Ingredients

  • tsp anise
  • ¼ tsp cardamom
  • ¼ tsp whole fennel seed
  • ¼ tsp whole coriander seed
  • ¼ tsp caraway
  • 1 small piece of bitter orange peel
  • 2 pieces of lemon peel
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 350 mL vodka

Instructions

  • Pour all the spices, lemon peel, and sugar into a bottle—the cuter, the better.
  • Pour in all the vodka, put the cap on, and give it a good shake.
  • Let the vodka infuse for at least 24 hours, but a week would be better.
  • Strain out all the spices and pour the liquid back into the bottle.
  • Keep in the freezer; aquavit is best served ice cold!

Notes

Feel free to skip or double any spice. Make this your own! Get creative!
