Infused Apple and Cinnamon Gin (V)

This is one of the presents for a close friend of mine. He loved it. Drink straight or with lemonade. Excellent gift idea for the gin loves. For infusing alcohol you will need a Kilner jar and a sterilised bottle to store the Gin. It's' super simple.

Equipment
1 x 750ml Bottle
1x Kilner Jar (Need a big one as you are putting pieces of apple in it)

Ingredients
750ml Gin (doesn't matter about the quality, choose which ever is on offer)
75g Caster Sugar
2 Braeburn Apples, cored, cut into wedges
1 Cinnamon Stick

1. Sterilise your kilner jar (You do this by cleaning your jars with warm soapy water and putting them in the oven at 200c/180c fan assisted for 5 minutes).

2. Put in the Sugar and Apples. Then pour in the gin. Put the lid on the jar and give a shake. Allow to infuse for about 3 weeks. Give a shake throughout the 3 weeks. Store in a cool and dry place.

3. After 3 weeks add the cinnamon stick and once again shake. Leave this for a week.

4. After the final week, take the infused gin and pour into a measuring jug with a sieve to get the bits out. Sterilise the bottle. Remove the cap and give a clean with warm soapy water and dry. Then put in the oven at 200c/180c for 5 minutes. Allow to cool. Then carefully pour in the liquid. Cap on. Label up. Gift or Drink Up!
