Pomegranate & Vanilla Vodka

Ingredients

2/3 cup fresh pomegranate seeds (roughly the amount from one large pomegranate)
3 vanilla pods
75cl bottle vodka (40%ABV)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water

Method

Put pomegranate seeds and vanilla pods into sterilized bottles or one large litre jar. Carefully pour in vodka.

Put sugar and water in a pan and boil for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves. Leave to cool slightly.

Pour the cooled sugar syrup into the vodka and shake well. Store in a cool, dark place and shake every few days for up to 3 weeks.

Before drinking or giving as a gift, strain the vodka into a newly sterilized bottle or container, removing the pomegranate seeds.

Pour the strained vodka into three smaller sterilized bottles, adding a pod to each one and a few fresh pomegranate seeds.
