Lavender Scented And Infused Vodka - cooking recipe

Ingredients

750 ml vodka
1 bunch fresh lavender, about 20 stems
1/2 orange, zest of (optional)

Preparation

Pour one bottle of vodka over a bunch of fresh lavender - I keep old and decorative bottles for this purpose! (Kilner jars are also good for this).
Add the orange peel if using.
Store in a dark and cool place - or in the fridge - for about 2 weeks before using.
Ready to use when the vodka smells and tastes of lavender.
Strain into a fresh bottle or jar and use for Martinis and simple vodka based cocktails.
