Recipe50g Dark brown sugar
175 cl Dry Gin
Sloes
300 cl Bottle
Method
Fill Bottle with scoulding hot water from kettle to sterilise then empty.
Place Gin into Bottle then add sugar.
Place sloes into bottle until displaced liquid rises to top then screw/cork bottle.
Leave for 3 months or more.
Notes
I used Richmond London dry Gin 70cl because it provides 4 300cl bottles.
For bottle i used Asda's own White wine or Cider vinegar bottles since these provide exactly 300 cl and the label can be easily removed by soaking in hot water.
I used dark brown sugar as i find it takes the sloe gin to another dimension, but other sugars are fine.
One year i'll try honey, but not yet :p
