Method
- Lightly crush 12 cardamom pods with a pestle and mortar or the end of a rolling pin.
- Add to a 1.5ltr sterilised* jar or wide-necked bottle along with 400g raspberries and 200g caster sugar. Pour over 700ml gin and close the lid. Tip the jar upside-down and swirl around gently to make sure everything is mixed.
- Leave in a cool, dark place for 2-3 months, shaking the jar daily for the first 2 weeks and weekly after that. When ready, strain and decant into sterilised* bottles ready for gifting. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Serve topped up with tonic or fizzy water, if you like.
