I'm trying to figure out how to make my own homemade gin. What are the best ingredients to use?

The best ingredients to use for making homemade gin include juniper berries, coriander seed, cardamom seeds, and star anise. You can also add a few drops of your favorite essential oil or spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, or allspice to give it some extra flavor. Finally, you'll need grain alcohol (like vodka) and water. Mix them together in a jar and let it sit for about two weeks before straining it through cheesecloth or a coffee filter.
