Equipment

  • 1 Pint mason jar

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 ¼ 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.

Notes

You can also flavor this with sweetfern seeds.
