nmjams

i just made some toffee vodka, i used 2 1/2 x 150gm packs of the hard werthers to half litre of vodka. does anybody know if this enough i want it to be nice and creamy like its turned out for previous posters:T
i think i'll buy an extra bag later while at asda just in case

i'm hoping it will be ready by friday night as saturday is my only day off for the next 3 weeks, so its going to be the only day i can nurse a bad head

It will definately be ready for Friday.

It usually takes a maximum of a day to dissolve.

I sometimes stand mine in hot water though to drink the same night

Enjoy

whatever you're infusing then has to be removed afterwards (e.g. chilli vodka - unless you like the OMG factor like my OH then you're supposed to remove the chilli after a week)

OMG!!

CHILLI vodka! I have to try that!! Is it hot & spicy? I'm making toffee vodka for my mum, but I'm not into sticky & sweet. That would be right up my street!

Ok so following the destructions here: http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/msbrackenridge/entry/the_something_random/

I made some strawberry vodka yesterday and have finished it off today. It was unbelievably easy and now I am thinking about buying a big bottle and asking on freecycle for miniature bottles and making some more!!!
Anyway here are some pics. I only made one bottle and only used red skittles.









And finished voddie

Thanks, So you just popped the skittles in and left it over night? Thats great, Will give it a go, I made coffee Liq' last Xmas and it was such a faff and I had bottles all over for weeks, this sounds nice and easy and quick.

Thanks for sharing.

yep, although according to the instructions it takes aruond 5 days for them to dissolve so I think I may not have used enough. Need to get OH to taste it when he comes home (I don't drink so won't taste it) It may well be I need more red skittles and add them to this mixture then follow the same process however it would still only take a max of 5 ish days. I just shook the bottle everytime I passed it.

I recall doing this a while ago but I can't remember if it was more complicated than it sounds.

I have some very hot cayenne peppers from the g'house which I would like to incorporate into easy gifts.

I'm sure that at some time past I put them in a small decorative bottle with vodka (or was it gin?) and then all that was needed was a teaspoon in dishes to make it hot and spicy. The alcohol preserves but dissipates (right word) when cooking.

Anybody else done this and is there anything else to add to the bottle or is it really that simple?

Thanks

I think you just need to make sure the bottle is sterile before you start putting stuff in it, although vodka's quite likely to kill any germs that may be lurking.

Gona write in my notebook straight away so i dont forget!!

Thanks guys

OH has some small multicoloured chilli's he washed them and stuck them in a bottle of vodka ... they have over time lost their colour but the vodka tastes fantastic just make sure they are washed properly before adding
