This has a nice mellow mint taste. Very sweet and a nice emerald color. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups fresh mint leaves, slightly packed |
3 cups vodka |
2 cups granulated sugar |
1 cup water |
1 teaspoon glycerin (optional) |
8 drops green food coloring (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a quart jar combine leaves, vodka and 1 cup sugar.
2. Seal jar tightly, and place in a dry, dark place for about 2 weeks.
3. After two weeks, strain the liquid using a double layer of cheese cloth. Gently squeeze the mint leaves, getting as much juice as possible.
4. In a fresh quart jar, add the second cup of sugar, glycerin, water to top and the strained liquid. Seal and store again in a dark place until sugar is dissolved.
5. Once the sugar has all dissolved, bottle the resulting liqueur in a fresh bottle and let age for roughly 3 months.
