How do I make an infusion from LEKRASET juniper berries? — Juniper Berries 50 g - LEKRASET

LEKRASET Kadakamarjad is whole dried plant material, not an extract or a ready-made drink, so the method of preparation largely determines the result. First of all, follow the manufacturer's instructions: they state the recommended amount of berries per serving and the steeping time.

The general principle for herbal infusions of whole fruits is that the material is poured over with hot water and steeped with a lid on, and the steeping time is taken from the instructions on the package. Juniper berries contain volatile compounds that evaporate easily, so covering the vessel during steeping is a sensible practice. Strain the finished infusion.

Juniper berries give a rich, astringent, resinous and piney taste, which is quite pronounced. If you are trying the product for the first time, start with a smaller amount to gauge its intensity. The berries also combine well with other herbs in blends: they add a characteristic spicy note and make the taste of the drink more complex.

It is recommended to store the opened pack in a dry place protected from light. This is the standard rule for any herbal material, helping to preserve its aroma and quality.
