Raspberry gin

Method

• step 1

  Put the raspberries, sugar and gin in a clean mason jar. Mix, seal and store in a cool, dark place for a few weeks, tasting regularly and giving the jar a shake every other day. If you want a sweet liqueur, add sugar syrup to taste.

• step 2

  Once you’re happy with the flavour, strain out the boozy raspberries – try swirling them into ice cream – and decant the gin into sterilised bottles.
