BLUEBERRY GIN AND TONIC

Steps:

• Take the blueberries and in a bowl and give them a bit of a smash just to break them slightly.
• Add ice, 2 lime wedges and a few mint leaves into two glasses. Divide the blueberries between the glasses.
• Add 50ml of gin to each glass (this is a double but if you want it a little weaker just add 25ml per glass).
• Top up with tonic and serve straight away.

BLUEBERRY GIN

Steps:

• In a large bottle pour gin, add blueberries and sugar, shake well and refrigerate for 2 weeks or up to 2 months.
• Shake the bottle from time to time, you will see a marvellous rich colour developing as the days go by.
• To serve: Place a shot of gin in a blender with crushed ice, blend, pour into chilled glasses and top with tonic and garnish with a sprig of mint. Alternatively, serve alone in a small chilled glass with ice cube.
• I will post a photo once my gin is done as I said I only put it in the fridge a few days ago so I will have to be patient until it is done.
