Foraged Hawthorn Blossom Vodka
Author: 
Serves: 1 litre
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups of Hawthorn Blossom (roughly, it doesn't have to be precise)
  • 1 litre Vodka (I went for a cheap vodka)
  • 1 - 3 teaspoons Caster Sugar
Instructions
  1. Pick the blossoms on a dry morning, ideally.
  2. Pull the blossoms from the stalks and add them to a fliptop bottle or a sealable jar.
  3. Add the caster sugar to taste - I don't like sugar much, but add more to taste if you need to.
  4. Pour over the vodka and leave in a dark place, where you won't forget to shake it a couple of times a day. It doesn't have to be a vigorous shake - just enough to stir up the petals a little.
  5. The petals will go brown, over time, but that's fine.
  6. Leave for about 2 to 3 weeks, then strain out the petals (I like to filter through a muslin, then through a coffe filter) and your flavoured vodka is ready to drink.
