  • ¾ teaspoon white pepper

  • 4 cinnamon sticks

  • 1 whole nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small skillet, toast the clove, allspice, white pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg over medium heat until fragrant, 2 minutes. Transfer to a sealable quart jar with the ginger and pour in the vodka. Seal and steep for 2 days, shaking the jar every 12 hours.
