Part III – Filtering and Clarifying
Allow the infused spirit to clarify and settle for about 3 to 4 weeks, then setup 2 clean Mason jars side by side. Place a paper coffee filter in a coffee filter funnel over the other jar. Slowly and carefully rack off the clarified part into the first jar …
… then pour the remainder through the paper filter in the other jar. You do this to be able to continue pouring slowly without tipping the jar back and mixing up the sediments. If you were to pour straight into the filter, you would have to wait for it to clear to pour the rest out of the jar and there would be too much of a chance you would tip the jar back and mix it up.
Allow all the spirit to completely filter into the jar.
There should be a little sediment remaining in the original jar. Discard it.
Shown below is a shot of the clarified infused spirit combined into one jar. It is now ready to blend and bottle.
