Rosemary Liqueur

Rosemary and mint flavor this interesting, slightly sweet liqueur with a vodka base. Plan ahead. It takes a minimum of 3½ weeks to steep.

1½ tsp. rosemary leaves OR 1 tsp. ground rosemary
1 mint leaf
½ lemon, peel sliced and scraped
¼ tsp. coriander
1½ cups vodka
½ cup sugar syrup

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 2-4 weeks.

Makes 2 cups.
