Hot Rod Spice Set for Sloe Sloe Gin

Sloe Sloe Gin Tincture Recipe:

For everything you will need:

• Hot Rod spice packet for sloe gin
• 250 grams of sugar
• 1 liter of 43% strength gin

Pour the spice packet into a suitable jar volume, add sugar and pour gin over it all. Seal tightly and mix vigorously. Place in a cool, dark place to infuse for 3 months. For the first couple of weeks, the infusion needs to be stirred well every day so that the sugar dissolves completely and draws out the thorn juice faster. Then you can stir less often, once a week. After three months, the finished liquor can be drained. It will be cloudy and very difficult to filter due to the slimy pulp of the sloe. You can try filtering through a piece of muslin, or you can simply let the drink sit and then carefully drain it from the sediment. Sloe gin should be stored in a dark cupboard and the longer the better. It was experimentally found that the optimal aging period is 6 years - the liqueur turns out to be very balanced and smooth. But you can limit it to a year, although the drink will be a little harsh.
