Sweet Gale or Sweet Fern Liquor
A simple macerated liquor made from sweetfern or sweetgale seeds.
Ingredients
- 300 grams Vodka or about 1.5 cups
- 7 grams 3 Tablespoons Fresh sweet gale nutlets or sweet fern nutlets or 2 T dried
- 60 grams or 1/4 cup Maple syrup
Instructions
- Gently pound the nutlets in a mortar and pestle to release their aroma, then combine with the vodka and maple syrup in a non-reactive container, such as a pint mason jar. Allow the mixture to macerate for a week, then strain and store in a cool dark place.
- Serving
- The flavor is strong and herbaceous, so I like this mixed with soda or another lightly flavored mixer.
