- 1 cinnamon stick
- 200 g sugar
- 750 ml vodka
Instructions
- Rinse and pick over the blackcurrants removing any dodgy ones
- Place blackcurrants into sterilised Kilner type jar and lightly mash with potato masher to break them up a bit so they'll release their flavour
- Add the star anise, cinnamon stick and sugar
- Pour in the vodka
- Seal jar and shake well
- Place in a dark cupboard and shake every day for a week to dissolve sugar and let the flavours infuse
- Pour liquid through a double layer of kitchen paper and a sieve, let it drip slowly and do not squeeze

You can also use frozen blackcurrants here, just defrost them first
