How to use Bilberries Whole Botanical in distilling.

Bilberries can be used in distilling in a number of ways. For instance, bilberries can be used to make a simple syrup to add to a base spirit. Simply combine the bilberries with sugar and water in a pot and bring to a simmer. Cook until the berries are soft, then strain through a sieve and cool. Add the syrup to a base spirit such as vodka or gin for an interesting twist. Bilberries can also be used to create a dark, rich liqueur. To do this, combine the Bilberries, sugar, and water in a pot and cook until the berries are soft. Strain the mixture and add the resulting syrup to a base spirit such as vodka and allow to steep in the refrigerator for several days. Next, strain the mixture again and add a splash of brandy. Bottle the mixture and enjoy!
