Glad you liked the tip. I must tell you that a few hours of maturing have boosted the flavor threefold. On Sunday I'll go to the local market and look for some other herbs. Eucaliptus anyone?
PS, don't miss my Orange Martini recipe. Guaranteed you'll like it.
Orange peel martini.
Peel a ripe orange, eat it and save the peelings.
Place the peelings in a suitable bowl to dry in the sun (or by a well lighted and ventilated window), covered with a light gauze, napkin or mesh to keep insects out.
When the peelings are hard, cut them in small pieces (stamp sized is good), place them in a microwave safe recipient and cover with enough VG/PG of your preferred proportion. More PG works best; I use 30/70.
Put in microwave and heat with 10 sec flashes until the mixture is just too hot to touch with your fingers or about 70°C.
Take out and stir until cool.
Repeat the two previous steps between two and five times, until you have intense aroma and some light golden coloring.
Strain on a kitchen strainer and then reheat slightly to liquify and filter with a funnel and coffe filter. Keep filtering as needed until clear.
Add double VG/PG base as that of your extract yield (67% base, 33% extract).
Top with 5~10% dry vermouth (same kind you use on dry martinis). No need to buy a bottle if you don't keep that at home, just go to your nearest watering hole and ask for a shot of Martini & Rossi, Cinzano dry or Noelly Pratt (my favorite).
You can also cut the vermouth in half and add the same amount of your preferred gin for extra punch!
Mix vigorously and let steep for at least two weeks, airing dayly or at least twice a week.
Add nic to taste.
Ohh, that sounds wonderful!
I also like the idea of using eucalyptus!
This could satisfy my vaping and tinkering needs
