Chance, 
Here's something from my book that came out 2 weeks ago:

Flavored/Infused Vodka, Gin, and Rum
Makes 1 bottle


1 bottle (750ml) of vodka, gin or rum
Fruit, spice, or herb of your choice

Simply obtain a large mouthed glass container to make your infusions. Fresh 
fruit and produce should be washed well to remove all possible pesticides. 
Place your chosen fruit, spice, or herb in the container, add the alcohol, 
close the lid tightly, remove from direct sunlight and let sit from four days 
to two weeks. Strain and bottle when finished.
 
Basic infusion time guide: 
4 days: Vanilla beans, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, limes, mint, garlic, 
tarragon, basil, oregano, dill, thyme. 
1 week: Cantaloupes, strawberries, peaches, mangoes, pitted cherries, 
raspberries, blueberries, blackberries. 
2 weeks: Whole chili peppers, pineapple, fresh ginger, lemongrass.

It's easy!
Cheryl
