🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- In a mortar and pestle, gently crush the cumin seeds to release their aroma. Dont pulverize them into a powder, just slightly crush them.
- Pour the crushed cumin seeds into the vodka bottle.
- Seal the bottle tightly and give it a good shake to distribute the cumin seeds evenly throughout the vodka.
- Place the bottle in a cool, dark place, ideally at room temperature. Let it sit for at least 2 weeks, shaking gently every day or two to further integrate the flavors.
- After 2 weeks (or longer, for a more intense flavor!), use a fine-mesh strainer to carefully separate the vodka from the cumin seeds.
- Bottle the infused vodka into a clean, airtight container. You can also use a funnel to make the process easier.
- Give your new creation a sniff. Does it smell wonderful? If not, you may want to continue to infuse it for another week.
- Enjoy your homemade cumin-infused vodka responsibly! You can sip it neat, on the rocks, or use it in cocktails. Remember, moderation is key!
📝 Notes
- Always drink responsibly and in moderation.
- For a smoother flavor, you can try adding a small amount of honey or simple syrup after straining.
- Experiment! Add other spices like cardamom or coriander for a unique twist!
