Re: Build a Sputnik
So I’ve done the taste test... Overpowering cardamom flavour. I think it may be due to using cardamom seeds rather than pods. 1/2 a tsp (heaped) must be the equivalent of quite a few pods. I could just about get juniper under it but not much else. I’ll still be drinking it though! Overall I’m quite pleased just need to get the mix right.
Quick question: if using a colander how / where do you support it from?

Re: Build a Sputnik
Would have to be a very shallow one for it to sit above the liquid?

No above the vapour trail, just so you can put the
lid on proper. So 6inch or so!

Re: Build a Sputnik
The idea is that you adjust it with the legs so it sits snugly up against the head. so everything come through the bots.
