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