Basic Vodka Recipe (Homemade Infusion Style)

Ingredients:

• 1 liter of neutral grain alcohol (like 95% pure ethanol or very strong vodka as a base)

• 2-3 liters of purified water (filtered or distilled)

• Optional: charcoal for filtering

Instructions:

1. Dilute the Alcohol: Slowly add purified water to the neutral grain alcohol to bring it down to about 40% ABV (alcohol by volume), which is typical vodka strength.

   • For example, to dilute 1 liter of 95% ethanol to 40%, add about 1.3 liters of water.

2. Filter: If you want a smoother taste, you can filter the diluted alcohol through activated charcoal to remove impurities.

3. Rest: Let it sit for a day or two to mellow.

4. Bottle: Transfer to clean bottles and store.
