You just leave your fermented mash in a plastic container in the freezer overnight. In the morning, all the water will have frozen, leaving you with the alcohol. Not very good grade alcohol: it will tend to give you a hangover if you drink a lot of it, but remember, we just want an ingredient to be used in small quantities to add an authentic flavour to cocktails, don't we?
