  1. 1Add glycerol, water, lemon peels, ginger, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, star anise, green cardamom, white peppercorn, salt, angelica root, tartaric acid, and ascorbic acid into a sous vide bag.
  2. 2Vacuum seal the bag.
  3. 3Place the bag in a sous vide bath for one hour at 90 degrees Celsius or 195 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. 4Let it cool completely in a cold water bath.
  5. 5Cut open the bag and strain out the botanicals using a fine mesh strainer.
  6. 6Put the strained liquid into a blender.
  7. 7Add juniper berries and optionally pectinex. Blend until smooth.
  8. 8Place the mixture in the fridge for about 12 hours or overnight to infuse.
  9. 9Filter the mixture using a combination of a fine mesh strainer and a coffee filter. If your batch is more resinous, use a cloth filter instead.
