Hey Guys and Gals! A horseradish-infused vodka, optionally rounded out with honey, lemon juice and mustard.
Ingredients
3 cups of vodka
1 piece fresh horseradish, about 3 inches
1 teaspoon liquid honey (optional)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard (optional)
Directions
1. Peel the horseradish and cut it into 6 slices about 1/2 inch thick. Add them to the aging container and pour in the vodka.
2. Add the optional ingredients. The honey makes it sweeter and more complex.
3. Close the container and shake.
4. Age 2 weeks to a month in a cool, dry place.
5. Strain through moistened cheesecloth, gently wringing it. If needed, strain once more through a coffee strainer.
6. Longer aging makes it milder. Drink it right away if you want it strong.
