Saturday 21 August 2021 and it’s gin day at home. The gin has been steeping since Saturday 25 July 2021.
Here’s the Tayberry and lemon gin. It’s taken a few weeks to sit in the back of the garage, but now it’s really ready to go.
The recipe is,
– 2100 ml of dry gin
– 400 g sugar
– 400 g tayberries
– 2 lemon peels
– juice 1/2 a lemon
– 2 cloves
Put all of that into a jar, mix it up until all of the sugar is dissolved and then put it into a dark, cool place for about a month.
Strain it throughout muslin cloth and then bottle it up and label it.
That’s it, almost all of the tayberries from this year are done; the last of the tayberries from the freezer are now used up. Just one more to go: the vodka.
