Processing iris rhizomes to produce orris root. From what I understand, you want to clean and peel the rhizomes (once you've removed all the roots) and then shred or chop them into small bits which then need to be fully dried. Once they're completely dry you put them in a jar and wait ~two years. They're ready when they start to smell like violets. Then you can use them to flavor your gin.
