Re: My secret ingredients - for my cooking friends
You can also just soak the garlic pods in oil, though thorough infusion of flavour take a week or so, but the taste is a bit more refined compared to fried garlic.
I use the same principle to flavour Vodkas. As bottles sold in India have a restricter to prevent adulteration, I just pour the Vodka to a decanter and then add fruit
- Pomegranate seeds for that vivid Violet colour and superb flavout
- Orange peel for orange flavour
- Berries - Blue berry, raspberry or black currant, for their respective flavour.
How much to add depends on how intense you would like the taste to be. For mild flavout around 50g/L, for really intense fruit juice effect around 150-200g/L
