Rosemary and mint flavor this interesting, slightly sweet liqueur with a vodka base. Plan ahead. It takes a minimum of 3-1/2 weeks to steep.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1-1/2 teaspoons rosemary leaves OR 1 teaspoon ground rosemary
  • 1 mint leaf
  • Sliced and scraped peel of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon coriander
  • 1-1/2 cups vodka
  • 1/2 cup sugar syrup

Preparation:

Gently crush the rosemary leaves and mint with the back of a spoon on a breadboard so the aroma and oils are released. Add the lemon and herbs to the vodka and steep for 10 days. Strain and filter. Add the sugar syrup. Mature for 2 to 4 weeks.

Yield: 2 cups
