Voodoo Vodka

1 (750 milliliter) bottle good-quality vodka (such as Grey Goose®, Chopin®, or Dry Fly®)

¼ cup grains of paradise, lightly cracked

Pour the vodka into a 1-liter glass bottle, and add the grains of paradise. Close the bottle, and shake gently. Store in a cool place for 5 to 7 days; gently shake the bottle once a day.

Strain the vodka through a very fine metal mesh strainer, such as a wine strainer, into a sterile glass container. (Using a coffee filter will strip some of the flavoring oils out of the vodka.)
