How to make Cardamom and Ginger Infused Vodka by thrillkisser

"Good, but I want to make another batch with different proportions."

How I did it: I found a recipe for cardamom and ginger infused vodka and, after buying a bunch of cardamom to make chai, thought I'd give it a whirl.
It's very simple.

  • 20 green cardamom pods
  • 1 knot of ginger
  • 2 cups vodka
  1. Crush lightly the cardamom pods to open them slightly.
  2. Slice the ginger into 1" x 3" slices.
  3. Pour 2 cups of vodka into a clean jar.
  4. Add the cardamom and ginger and shake well.
  5. Put jar in a dark place and swirl once a day for 2 weeks.
  6. Strain and use. (Can be left for longer if you wish)

I liked it, but next time less cardamom and more ginger.
Here's a recipe I found that I think I'll use as a guide next time:
  • 10 green cardamom pods
  • 1 1/2 cup good-quality vodka
  • 10 slices of fresh ginger, 1/4-inch thick
