Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups gin
- 1 cup Frontier Co-op® Whole Elderberries
- 2 Frontier Co-op® Cinnamon Sticks crushed, or 2 tablespoons Frontier Co-op® Cinnamon Stick Chips
- 1 tablespoon Frontier Co-op® Lemon Peel Granules
- 1 cup honey
Directions
- In a quart-size mason jar, combine gin, elderberries, crushed cinnamon sticks and lemon peel granules.
- Cover and let steep for at least one month.
- When ready to drink, strain using cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer back to jar along with honey, and stir well before serving.
- The liqueur may be enjoyed after a few days of infusing, but will not contain the depth of flavor of a true liqueur or cordial. Longer time also helps meld the flavors and mellow the alcohol’s edginess. We recommend a 1-month minimum, and up to 3 months for best results.
