Fruit infused vodka without adding sugar?
I just finished reflux distilling a sugar wash/heads/tails mixture and wound up with ~190 proof neutral. I wanted to use frozen raspberries I picked this past spring to flavor it but didn't want to make a cordial and use sugar. I searched on the site but just found recipes that use sugar. Has anyone used fruit to infuse neutral without adding sugar? Is 190 proof too much or should I dilute it down to 110-120 for the infusion?

Since I've already distilled my wash infusing during distillation is out this time around. The recipes on the Danish site are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Re: Fruit infused vodka without adding sugar?
Twinnings or other similar fruit teas give a great unsweetened flavour you can vary by the number of “tea bags” and the stewing time. I’ve had pretty good results.
Choose pure fruit tea rather than tea with fruit flavour.
