Recipe for 1 litre (quart) vodka 40%bv
1g (5-6 blades of fresh bison grass, 25cm)
1 tsp sugar
1 litre vodka 40%bv
Cut grass into 3-4 cm lengths and macerate in bottle of vodka for about 2
weeks. Filter, add sugar. Place a blade of bison grass in the final bottle
for decoration.
You can also use dried bison grass (Hierochloe odorata):
Zubrowka (using dried bison grass)
10g dried bison grass
170ml vodka 50%bv
420ml vodka 95%bv ('Spirytus')
570ml water
5g sugar (1 tsp)
Make an essence by macerating the dried bison grass in 170ml of 50%bv vodka
for about 2 weeks.
Add 15ml of this bison grass essence to 420ml of 95%bv vodka, 570ml water
and 5g sugar.
It appears that each each gram of fresh bison grass has about 12mg of
coumarin, the flavoring agent which also has an anti-coagulant property.
