Servings

Cut fennel stalks and fronds from the bulbs. Wrap stalks and fronds in a damp paper towel and store in the refrigerator. Quarter fennel bulbs then place in a large, airtight jar. Add the vodka, seal the jar and let steep for 5 days in a cool, dark spot. On day 3, take the stalks and fronds the refrigerator. Trim fronds from the stalks and add to the jar with vodka and bulbs. Discard stalks. Reseal the jar and shake.*
Strain the vodka into a clean jar or bottle through a fine mesh basket strainer lined with a layer of cheesecloth.** Discard solids.

* The fennel fronds should only remain in the vodka for a few days. Once they lose their color (turn from vibrant green to dull green), strain your infusion. I tasted the vodka once before adding the fronds and then each day after to make sure the flavor was good.
** You want to be certain that you strain out all of the solid materials from the vodka. Any leftover particles will breakdown over time and have an adverse affect on the taste. You should strain our the vodka with a fine-mesh basket strainer or a coffee filter (or both if you are worried!). Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 months.
