Potions class

Kate and I distilled our own gins at the Adnams Brewery and Distillery in Southwold!

We measured our juniper berries (between 10g and 16g), chose about ten botanicals from a selection of forty (between 0.5g and 2g each) and added them all to the pot with a 70cl bottle of Adnams' best vodka. 

Then the heat was applied and the distilling began... and when it had all finished (40cl worth - discarding the head and tail), the gin was diluted back to the correct strength, bottled and labelled.

Two weeks to wait now until we can sample what we've created :-)
