Cooking method

Cooking time: 12 d 30 min

Pour the juniper into the jar, pour 400 ml of alcohol. 
We make a second fragrant alcoholic infusion - from coriander and cumin. Pour the spices into a jar, pour 340 ml of alcohol.
We put both infusions for 5 days in a dark and warm place.
5 days have passed, the alcoholic infusions for the genie have been infused, it's time to filter them and dilute them 2 times with water (this is about adding 200 ml of water). Let's start with a tincture of juniper. The infusion is poured into a cube and put on distillation (distillation of an alcohol-water mixture is flammable, it is not recommended to repeat at home).
The first drops went, and according to the recipe, the first 10 ml should be thrown away. A gorgeous smell of a Christmas tree reigned in the kitchen. Distilling alcohol over low heat. 
It turned out exactly 260 ml. Next, I filter the tincture of coriander and cumin, and add 200 ml of water. The distillation of the infusion of coriander and cumin is done according to the method with the infusion of juniper. We collect 10-15 ml of excess and 260 ml of the main one.
Now you need to mix all the ingredients: coriander and cumin distillate, juniper distillate and water. And bring it to a volume of 1 liter.
Let Jin rest for another week. After this period, our gin is ready for use!
