Here you’ll find simple and delicious recipes that you can make in 30 minutes or less. KEEP IN TOUCH There’s no rule to how much of your chosen botanical to use , although approximately a third fruit to gin is probably about right for most infusions ( roughly 300g produce for 1 litre of gin).

Once you’ve added your desired flavors and tastes, it is time to make your very strong spirit drinkable. Mostly, this means around 80 proof. Don’t dilute the liquor in one day as this may spoil your final product. Add a little bit of condensed water each day to get the proof down around 5% ABV per day.Our ‘TOP BANANA’ Banoffee Premium Gin is classically led by Juniper with Coriander, Angelica and Almond perfectly balanced with delicate bursts of Banana with subtle hints of smooth Toffee. As already mentioned above, making banana moonshine mash is relatively simple and you don’t need many ingredients. The most important thing is that you use very ripe bananas. They should be dark yellow with some brown spots – but not rotten. Herbs & plants: rosemary, thyme, lavender, mint, elderflowerRemember, the more you use the stronger the flavour. Use around 200-400g of fruit per litre of spirit. Feel free to substitute 1/4 cup of half-and-half for the creamand milk. For a truly decadent treat, substitute 1/4 cup of softened vanilla ice cream.

With: Speyside single malt whisky, lemon juice, crème de banane liqueur, Islay single malt peated scotch whisky, Yellow Chartreuse liqueur, cinnamon syrup and pimento dram liqueur.The base of waragi distillate can be made from either cassava, bananas, millet or sugar cane, depending on the crops grown in the region. The most popular (besides the branded Uganda Waragi) are Lira Lira and Kasese. Lira Lira is made mainly from cassava flour and cane sugar, and is named after the town of Lira. Kasese, named after the town of Kasese, is a potent banana gin. Waragi may also be known as "regular" or "super." Let the banana mash cool down naturally to about 75°F (24°C) while keeping the lid on your fermenter to avoid contamination. Depending on the size of your fermentation vessel, this takes about 1-1.5 hours. If the temperature is still too high after about one hour, you can add a couple of clean ice cubes to the mash to speed up the process or cool the container from the outside, e.g. by placing it into a bathtub with cold water. Since the enzymes need the high temperatures to convert starch into sugar, make sure to wait for about an hour before actively cooling down the mash. To simply enjoy this decadent home comfort, simply top 50ml gin with ginger ale and garnish with a fresh orange wedge. Close to 80% of the Waragi today is made in Uganda. A large glass of this unregulated liquor goes for approximately 25 cents, making it easily accessible for Ugandans. The death toll of 80 was arrived at after 15 people died in the period between April 23 and the weekend before. [11] Deaths in Kamwenge went from five to nine after four people died on 21 April. [11] Two people were hospitalised at Kamwenge's Ntara Health CentreIV and five were hospitalised at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital. [11]

It’s sweet, creamy, with the unbelievably refreshing combination of banana liqueur and pineapple juice. A dazzling dessert with bourbon biscuit base, caramel layer, creamy coconut topping and banana toffee

There should be around 1.5 ounces of foreshots from this recipe. This part contains the toxic methanol and acetone. To be on the safe side, discard around 2 or 2.5 ounces (60-80ml). Then, collect the distillate in different containers, called cuts, of each around 50-100ml and number them. Once the proof of the distillate drops below 60, you can turn off your still. Cover the containers with your banana brandy and let them sit for a day to allow the aromas to settle. In April 2010, 80 people died from multiple organ dysfunction syndrome after drinking waragi adulterated with a high amount of methanol over a three-week period in Kabale District. [8] [9] [10] Many of the deaths were blamed on the reluctance of people to openly admit their relatives had been drinking it, allowing the abuse of the substance to continue. [9] [10] When revelations came about houses were searched, with around 120 jerrycans uncovered. [10] The Bananaman, as he calls himself, told us that there are 30 different varieties of bananas in Uganda and that they had 15 of them growing on the property. He doesn’t use all of them to make banana juice, though. The banana juice goes on to become beer, wine or gin, depending on the process that it is put through, so the bananas used for that are specific and come from a recipe of certain types that his father started many years ago. VICE, a news outlet known for " immersion journalism" devoted an episode of their web series Fringes to the process of making and distributing Waragi. The episode also covered the cultural significance of Waragi in Uganda, with reporter Thomas Morton imbibing various distillations of the traditional beverage. [12] As I don’t belong under that category, I like to switch things up and give it a nice banana flavor.

To make your homemade flavoured gin, take a sterilised (dry) jar or bottle and simply add your chosen fruit(s), herbs and/or spices to your gin and leave the mixture to infuse. It’s as easy as that! To turn it into a gin liqueur, simply add sugar. Bake a batch of these dainty banana and white chocolate cupcakes from Good Food reader, Mita Patel. They are perfect for afternoon tea or a bake sale After Ugandan independence in 1962, the government of Uganda passed the Enguli Act of 1965, which was designed to encourage local producers of enguli to supply their produce to the distillery factory, in addition to stipulating that moonshining could only be done with government-issued licenses; this was done so the gin industry in Uganda could be regulated and taxed by the government. Furthermore, those who received their licenses from the Ugandan government were directed to sell their enguli to the distillery. When the factory received shipments of enguli, they used them in the production of Uganda Waragi. [5]

There’s certainly no shortage of flavoured gins in the supermarkets these days – everything from violets and geraniums to blood oranges and grapefruits make their way into the staunchly British spirit. But while these are at best overly sweet and at worst full of artificial flavourings, it’s far tastier and cheaper to make your own. And best of all – all it requires is a bit of sugar, some gin, your chosen fruit and time for everything to infuse together.
