I want to make my own homemade gin. What is the process and what do I need?

The process for making your own homemade gin starts by steeping juniper berries in a neutral grain spirit, typically vodka or white rum. You can also add other botanicals like coriander seeds, cardamom pods, and citrus peel. After steeping for several weeks or months, strain out the herbs and spices and then dilute with water. Finally, you can sweeten and flavor the gin with sugar, honey, or fruit juices.
