Ingredients

  • 350 ml vodka
  • 25 g fresh orange peel (no pith, orange only)
  • 25 g dried orange peel (Sevilles preferred)
  • 25 g dried lemon peel
  • 25 g dried grapefruit peel
  • .2 g whole cloves
  • 2.5 g green cardamom seeds removed from pod
  • 2 g caraway seeds
  • 2.5 g quassia bark
  • 5 g dried gentian root

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except the vodka and fresh orange peel to a blender or spice mill and blend or grind until all are the size of small peppercorns.
  • Put the spice mixture, vodka and fresh orange peel into a 0.5 L iSi Gourmet Whip. Attach the Rapid Infusion accessories to the iSi Gourmet Whip as per instructions.
  • Screw on 1 iSi Cream Charger as per instructions and shake. Then place the iSi Whipper in very hot water (max. 165 F, I use my sous vide for this) for 20 minutes. Immediately cool in ice water for 5 minutes, then quickly vent the iSi Whipper by pressing the lever.
  • Unscrew the device head from the iSi stainless steel bottle and remove the sieve and the sieve seal. Empty the infused liquid into a glass through the iSi Funnel & Sieve lined with a nut milk or straining bag.
  • Squeeze the bag until you have recovered 185 ml of liquid. Trying to squeeze out more will result in a more bitter liquid.
