  • Different botanicals and their maceration times

    Posted by simple man distillery on January 24, 2023 at 4:48 am

    Does anyone have a cheat sheet for various maceration times of typical botanicals in a herbal liqueur, digestif or apertivo?

    In my experience Cinnamon, clove need a week or so.

    Flowers need several weeks

    Citrus peels and roots fall somewhere in between.

    Taste is all relative, but curious to hear others’ thoughts.

    None that I know of, maybe it needs to be written. I’m sure if you do it we’d all buy a copy.
