FAQ: Using Sous Vide for Cocktails & Desserts
Can I use regular jars for sous vide infusions?
Yes — just make sure the lids are screwed on finger-tight, not over-tightened, to allow a small amount of air expansion.
Does alcohol lose strength when sous vide infused?
Not significantly, as long as you keep temperatures below 60°C (140°F).
Can I reuse the infusion ingredients?
Sometimes. Vanilla beans and cinnamon sticks can be reused for multiple batches, but fruits are best discarded after one infusion.
