10+1. Infusion Kits

The next level of loving alcohols! just before going to AA meetings, sorry just kidding, is infusing your spirits with herbs, spices, fruits, and whatever you like your drink taste. For example, the "Do Your Gin" kit has 12 different spices and a handful of recipes for infusing your gin. Yet, the limit is your imagination. I personally infused gin with black tea leaf, and several other tea leafs for a few days and the results was amazing! Now it is your turn to do your gin. Let me know the results. Cheers!
