Jasmine Flower Vodka
Yield: 1 bottle (750 ml)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Infusion Time: 3-7 days
Ingredients
- 750 ml vodka (use a neutral, high-quality vodka)
- ¼ cup dried jasmine flowers (culinary grade, or fresh if available)
- 1-2 tsp honey or keto-friendly sweetener (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vodka:
- Pour the vodka into a clean glass jar or bottle with a lid, leaving some space at the top for shaking.

- Sweeten (Optional):
- Stir in the honey or sweetener until dissolved, if desired.
- Bottle and Store:
- Transfer the infused vodka to a clean, airtight bottle. Store in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator.
