1
Infusing the Base Spirit
In a large glass jar, combine the high-proof neutral spirit with the dried herbs and citrus peel. Seal the jar tightly.
2
Steeping
Allow the mixture to steep in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks, shaking gently every few days to ensure even infusion.
3
Straining the Mixture
After 2 weeks, strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean jar, discarding the solids.

4
Adding Flavorings
To the strained liquid, add the fresh herbs, crushed coffee beans, and the scraped vanilla bean. Seal the jar again.
5
Final Steeping
Let the mixture steep for an additional week, shaking gently every few days.

6
Sweetening
After a week, add the sugar to the infused liquid. Stir until fully dissolved.
7
Bottling
Once the sugar is dissolved, strain the liquid one more time into a clean bottle. Seal tightly.
