I'm in the gin lab at In the Welsh Wind Distillery where I'm making my very own bottle of gin! I perused the botanical room and decided to use a cherry blossom tea blend, papaya, lime, sichuan peppercorns, pink peppercorns, and juniper berries of course! It turns out that gin making is a very simple process. First, neutral grain spirit is added to the still along with a selection of botanicals. The botanical flavours infuse into the spirit and the liquid is heated up into a vapour form. The vapour goes through a condenser where it turns back into a liquid and is collected. Lastly, the infused spirit is diluted with deionised water to bring it down to the right alcoholic strength. Voila you have gin! #gin recipe
