The bourbon captures the taste and smells of the oatmeal, from the cinnamon and nutmeg to the vanilla and toasted oats. It really does taste like you’re drinking an oatmeal cookie. Magic!
4soft homemade style oatmeal raisin cookies, broken into large pieces
375mL(1/2 bottle of) bourbon
Instructions
Place the cookies in the bottom of a mason jar and add 375 mL of bourbon. Make sure the bourbon covers the cookies.
Let the jar sit, agitating the mixture about every 8-10 hours for about 30 hours. It will look a mess in the jar, but that means the flavors are melded.
When finished infusing, strain the mixture through a metal sieve.
Then, line a large metal sieve with a coffee filter and strain again. You may have to let the mixture sit out for several hours or overnight.
Once strained, store in the fridge in a clean jar or bottle. Yield is a little less than 12 ounces.
