💭 What is Rosemary Infused Vodka?
Rosemary Infused Vodka is a vodka that has taken on the flavor, aroma, and color of fresh rosemary!
📝 Ingredients
- Rosemary: Fresh rosemary, please!
- Vodka: Use your favorite plain middle-of-the-road vodka here. No need to break out the top shelf stuff.
👩🏻🍳 How to make this infused vodka
Put your fresh rosemary into the mason jar or whatever container you're using. Add the vodka. Seal it up, and let it sit! That's it.
Once about 5 days have passed, you can remove the rosemary from the container, or not. The flavor will continue to intensify the longer it's left in the vodka. Taste it occasionally and stop when you're happy with the flavor.
You can store the vodka right in the container in which it was infused and stash it wherever you keep your booze. I keep mine in our pantry.

❓ FAQs
I'd recommend using a plain vodka that's kind of middle-of-the-road in terms of quality. You want to use something that's drinkable and decent, but don't want to use top shelf liquor.
It's up to you. The longer it sits and infuses, the stronger the flavor will be. Taste it often and stop when you're happy with the flavor.
I store mine in the mason jar that it infused in (after straining the rosemary out) in my liquor cabinet. Store it in a cool dark place.

I just heard it has great health benefits. 15 to 30 drops 3 times daily in whatever drink. Was told it lasts for many years. Question, is it better to strain then store if keeping for years?
Lauren Pacek
Yes, definitely strain out the rosemary before storing it.
