Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Mint
  • 1 1/2 cups Vodka

Method
 

  1. Wash the mint and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
  2. Roughly chop the mint and add to a clean, sterilized jar.
  3. Pour over the vodka and secure the lid.
  4. Allow to steep for 1-2 months in a dark place. Shake the jar every few days to help infuse until the vodka smell is replaced by Mint.
  5. Remove and strain off the Mint leaves and store in a clean, sterilized jar.

Notes

The ratios can be a little rough with this just make sure the leaves are covered with the vodka.
Will keep for a long time but I suggest using it within a year.
The leaves and mixture will go brown as they infuse. Dried leaves may hold their colour better.
