So, added a couple of Blackberry leaves as well; but it is optional.Finally, add 500 mL of vodka into the jarMake sure the jar has enough empty space to release some gas during fermentationCover the jar with a lid and leave to infuse for 20-30 days; until the berries have released most of their colourEnjoy the summer while time works for you!You will observe the colour of the jar slowly turn to a deep burgundy. Shake the jar from time to time to keep all the ingredients submerged during this process.
