You could reduce a half a cup to a few tbs. Gently and over a half hour
or so reduce the gin over a very low heat to about 3 tbs. I cant stress
enough how gently this must be done to be achieved succesffully but if,
as a technique, it is mastered, it can add sutpendious flavors, espicaly
to baked goods and pastries.

Then add that reduced gin to enough dough for a dozen small basic egg,
flour and honey cookies. Rice flour if you have it and stick half an
peeled almond on top of each cookie.

I will reduce an entire cup of good port to about 3 tbs for a small
chocolate cake, technicaly a 'torte'.
