balanced combination of spices, strong aroma, great souvenir from the kitchen

Wash the lime and lemon with hot water and then dry them. Then, ideally using a zester or lemon peeler, peel off the zest in thin strips, taking care not to peel off any of the white pith. Peel and slice the ginger. Roast the juniper berries, coriander seeds, cardamom, peppercorns, and cinnamon in a non-stick pan over high heat without any fat. Remove from the heat and let cool. Place the lemon and lime zest, ginger, toasted spices, chamomile flowers, rosemary sprig, chili pepper, and bay leaf in a 1-liter screw-top jar and fill with the vodka. Let it steep in a cool, dark place for about 12 hours. Once the time has elapsed, pour the gin through a funnel lined with cheesecloth or a filter bag (or alternatively, kitchen paper) and pour into a clean bottle.
