As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalized guidance on health concerns.

3. Pour your preferred alcohol base (such as a flavourless vodka) over the juniper berries, ensuring they are fully submerged.
4. Seal the jar or bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least one week to allow the flavors to infuse.
5. After the desired infusion period, strain the liquid to remove the juniper berries and enjoy your homemade flavored spirit!
