Infused Alcohol

This is the final product, frosty from the freezer,  Hibiscus Vodka.
A very simple treat, all you need is vodka, or booze of your choice, and tea type things.  I used dried Hibiscus Blossoms, Chamomile Blossoms, and Lavender Blossoms.  Soon I will try Cacao Nibs, Coffee Beans and Vanilla Pods (maybe all together).  Quantities were about 8 ounces of alcohol to 1 tablespoon of dried flowers.  I let the mixture sit for about 3 days and then drained the mixture.  I rebottled the vodka and put it in the freezer for safe keeping.
Here is the vodka, just after adding the vodka to the flowers, it is instantly changing color!

This is how the hibiscus flowers looked after I drained the vodka.  I think it looks like bacon!
