So heres how to do it, give it a crack.
1ltr of good vodka, about 30 or so strawberries ( pull off the green bits) and a bunch of basil. |
Oak church farm strawberries from herefordshire. british produce at its best! |
sling the strawbs in a bowl with 100ml of sugar, tear in the basil (leaves only) & mush it all together with your hands then cover it all with the vodka. |
Pour it all in a air tight jar/container and leave it for a couple of days giving it a shake twice a day (probably the hardest part of the whole process is having the will power to not drink it) |
after a couple of days pour the mixture through a fine sieve it will be a little cloudy but to get it lovely and clear you can pour it through a clean tea towel and let it slowly filter SIMPLES!!!. |
I look forward to trying this out, but I have a question. Does it require refrigeration during this process?

DeleteGreat idea! Did it this weekend and tastes delicious. You have inspired me to create other flavours. I also did a cucumber and mint vodka which was surprisingly delicious. My next ideas are rhubarb with black pepper, and carrot with ginger.
