I am on week one and taste tested my infusion. So far it's pretty good and I know it's going to get better. My question is after straining, what is the shelf-life, in or out of the fridge? I don't expect it to last long in my household of tequila drinkers but I would like to know just incase....Also do you think I should strain it sooner because I live in a constant warm climate?
