750-ml bottle Spirytus Rektyfikowany, Everclear, high-proof vodka, or other strong neutral spirit
Quick-infusing stuff:
5 grams whole cloves
2 grams cinnamon bark
5 grams juniper berries
5 grams gentian root
5 grams cinchona bark
Slow-infusing stuff:
5 grams allspice
5 grams cardamom
10 grams orris root
10 grams fresh ginger
15 grams grapefruit peel
5 grams fresh rosemary
1 vanilla bean
5 grams rhubarb root
10 grams rosebuds
3 grams calendula buds
3 grams yarrow
Simple syrup (equal volumes sugar and water, melted)
Water
Put the quick-infusing stuff in the alcohol. Wait about 3 days, or whenever it smells/tastes pungent enough. Strain. Add the other stuff, wait about a week.
Add syrup until it's not bitter, then add water until it doesn't burn. I added about half as much syrup, and equally as much water, to 151-proof Everclear base. So, 300ml alcohol, 150ml syrup, 300ml water.
