Japanese Knotweed vodka

Monday, April 4th, 2011

Apparently you can turn normal vodka into something more unusual by following this japanese knotweed recipe.


You can also use japanese knotweed like rhubarb – I haven’t tried it yet though!

There are strict laws about the stuff though so dispose of any leftovers carefully – DO NOT put in the green waste bin or the compost heap – burn them! It’s illegal to plant the stuff too!.
