Jesus.
I paid for the still, I’m gonna get my moneys worth out of it 😂 and by that I’m just curious what flavors come through the process. While these are mostly horrid ideas, you never know when you’ll be surprised and can make something interesting from it. Hell sour beers were considered bad at one point in history and now people (including myself) make them intentionally!
Probably look to anything with oily aromatics. That would probably transfer the most amount of flavor. There's probably a shitton of herbs out that it would work with.
Yeah, that’s basically the thought behind the spinach and random herb idea I have, probably will be awful for drinking but thankfully I also cook daily so at worst I can use it to infuse some flavor into a dish lol
Hah I'm really curious on the rosemary, also, Basil buds/flowers if you have access to them. Very aromatic.
I grow my own basil, so definitely have access to those :)
