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

The best ingredients for making homemade gin include juniper berries, coriander seeds, cardamom pods, and a variety of other spices such as star anise, fennel seed, cassia bark, and citrus peel. You can also add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme, along with some citrus juices like lemon, lime, or orange. Lastly, you should consider using vodka instead of grain alcohol if you're concerned about your guests' health.
