Think of infusing as a Cinderella story:
1 bottle of vodka
1 bottle of vodka
It’s just before midnight so it’s totally fine
to sneak a shot of the top and start from the bottom shelf
2 tablespoons loose leaf darjeeling tea
You wouldn’t show up to the ball in a bag dress
so neither should your tea
2 star anise
Every Cinderella has stepsisters integral to the plot
threatening to take over the ball if not kept in check
1 tablespoon peppercorns
Impossible to overlook, the see-through shoes
bring us closer to resolution and sparkle with originality
5 slices fresh ginger
Look, you can’t make a rotting pumpkin
into a serviceable carriage or add fire with candy
2 cracked cardamom pods
Prince Charming has never looked so good
adding authenticity as only heroes can
1 vanilla bean sliced in half lengthwise
The mice and birds might not be necessary
but are your friends through and through
Mix together with 500 years of variation
Let moral lessons sit for 3-5 days
Strain out misogyny and solids
Serve chilled.
Not intended for children.
