How to Make Bachelor's Brandy
- Gently place 2 cups of mixed summer berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries – your choice!) into a clean 1-quart glass jar. Avoid crushing the fruit.
- Add ½ cup granulated sugar and the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract).
- Pour 1 bottle (750ml) of good quality brandy over the berries, sugar, and vanilla.
- Secure the lid tightly and gently swirl the jar to combine the ingredients.
- Let the sugar dissolve naturally. No need to shake vigorously!
- For the first two weeks, place the jar on a sunny windowsill to jumpstart the infusion process.
- After two weeks, move the jar to a cool, dark place for the remaining time (approximately 58 days).
- After a total of 2 months, your Bachelor's Brandy will be ready. Strain the brandy through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solids. Serve chilled and enjoy!
