1
Infuse the Violet Petals
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the dried violet petals. Allow to steep for about 30 minutes.
2
Strain the Infusion
After steeping, strain the violet infusion through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bowl, discarding the solids.
3
Make the Syrup
In the same saucepan, combine the strained violet infusion with 1.5 cups of sugar. Heat gently while stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
4
Add Alcohol
Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in 2 cups of vodka or neutral spirit and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. If using, add 1 teaspoon of glycerin to enhance the texture.
5
Bottle and Store
Pour the mixture into a clean bottle and seal tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
