Beech Leaf Noyau

Made in May.^^^^^^^^^

• 1 jar 
• beech leaves (young, soft ones)
• Enough gin to cover
• Sugar and water 
• a few almonds

Stick fresh beech leaf buds into a jar, with almonds, fill it with gin, leave it in a cupboard for 2 weeks.

Strain, mix in some sugar syrup.

bottle, drink.

Nutty flavour liquer.  Completely transforms the gin. Im wondering if this works with vodka, presume so.  Also wondering if I collected the right leaves.

^^^ 2 weeks later ^^^^ 

And the finished result, YellowHammer blended with dark muscavado syrup.

Really tasty with a pawful of toasted almonds...reckon it would be good in a nut trifle too !
