Dandelion Geist?
I distill rum and neutral for gin and infusions.
I was looking into making my first fruit brandy, and was put off by the sheer amount of fruit required.
While searching, I discovered geist - macerating pretty much anything in neutral, then distilling in a pot still.
Another project on my list is to distill mead, but the consensus seems to be that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
Dandelions smell and taste like honey. I reckon dandelion geist could well be a poor-man’s honey brandy.
While I prepare some neutral and cross my fingers that there are still flowering dandelions nearby, has anyone tried it before?
