MINT LIQUOR

INGREDIENTS:

100 grams (½ cup of small mint leaves), ½ kilo of sugar (2 ½ cups of sugar), one liter (5 cups of water), one liter (5 cups) of 90° alcohol.

PREPARATIONS:

Pick the mint leaves in the early morning. Add them to the alcohol and put in a jar, closing the lid. Let sit for ten days. Every two days, shake the jar for a couple of minutes. Add the end of the ten day period of infusion, take out the leaves, put them in a canvas cloth and squeeze thoroughly, letting the liquid fall back into the jar.

Bottle it in a nice clear bottle, so as to see the nice green color it has acquired.

P.S. I have always used normal mint, but I once tried it with peppermint leaves and the results were excellent!.
