Preparation card

Materials

  • 3/4 cup organic juniper berries
  • 1 quart water

Method

  1. Pour juniper berries and water into a quart jar.
  2. Cap it with a plastic lid, or place parchment paper under a metal lid before sealing.
  3. Label so you remember when you started the ferment. I like to use blue painter’s tape for this.
  4. Shake every day.
  5. Strain into a separate quart jar after 10 to 30 days. I like to use a sprout screen to strain.
  6. Add other ingredients to taste.
  7. Bottle and label, preferably in your fanciest vessel, and share with friends.
