Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh blueberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 whole lemon zest
- 750 milliliters gin
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water and drain them well.
Step 2
In a large glass jar with a lid, combine the fresh blueberries and granulated sugar.
Step 3
Using the back of a spoon, gently mash the blueberries to release some of their juices while not completely crushing them.
Step 4
Add the lemon zest to the jar, ensuring you avoid the bitter white pith as you zest the lemon.
Step 5
Pour the gin over the blueberries, sugar, and lemon zest. Stir gently to combine.
Step 6
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place.
Step 7
Let the mixture infuse for 1-2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every 2-3 days to ensure even flavor distribution.
Step 8
After 1-2 weeks, strain the gin through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar to remove the solids.
Step 9
Store the infused gin in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for up to a year. Serve as desired.
