Notes
Scaling Notes:
To scale this recipe, use 1 starfruit per cup of liquor. So if you do half a cup of rum, use half a fruit.
Preparation Notes:
Take the time to remove the seeds from the fruit so they don't impact the final flavor of your infusion. I've found that sometimes, seeds can give infusions a bitter or earthy taste that clashes with the fruity flavor.
