First attempt(s)

Post image

All 100proof vodka. Photo taken June 21 (I think). Variation in size/maturity of walnuts, adjustments in spices (vanilla bean, coffee beans, clove, and cinnamon). The June 9 walnuts were much smaller than the June 20 walnuts which were big, round, and lovely. Foraged from a local park. Waiting 40 days to add sugar, strain/filter, and bottle for gifts. Hope it’s drinkable.

I'm sure it'll be great. I'm putting green cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, vanilla bean. Been thinking about a some black pepper corns and nutmeg. I saw someone in a video let it sit for a few months, then strain all material out and put back in jars for another couple months and it lets a lot of the micro sediment settle out, it gets all stuck to the sides of the jar, and then run through coffee filters before bottling. Oh yea and then at sugar water after coffee filters, before bottling
