Instructions

  1. Mix ingredients: Wash, dry, and chop the rhubarb. Place into a large jar. Add the sugar, lemon peel, and ginger. Pour in the gin. Stir gently with a long wooden spoon.1 lb rhubarb/ 450 g + 1¼ cup granulated sugar/ 250 g + 2 long strips lemon peel + 3 thick slices ginger + 1 bottle of gin
  2. Steep rhubarb gin: Cover and let steep in a dark place (cupboard, pantry, cellar) for 3 to 4 weeks. Stir every day during the first week and every 3-4 days for the rest of the time.
  3. Strain gin: Taste after 3 weeks. The gin should be already slightly pink and very flavorful (Note 3). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a cheesecloth or muslin cloth into a jug. Carefully pour into a bottle (you can use the original gin bottle).
  4. Keep refrigerated and consume within 4-5 weeks. The gin will not go bad if kept for longer, but it will slightly lose the rhubarb flavor.

Notes

  • Lemon: Preferably from an organic, unwaxed lemon
  • Gin: Not an expensive sort, mid-range is fine.
  • Don't leave it steep for longer than 4 weeks.
