1.06 cup (250 ml) Water

Flavoring Ingredients

1.06 oz (30 g) Dried chamomile flowers
0.53 oz (15 g) Dried mint leaves
1/3 oz (10 g) Dried thyme
7.05 oz (200 g) sugar
3 1/2 oz (100 g) Honey

Infusion Process

1
Combine Base Ingredients
In a large glass jar, combine the high-proof alcohol and water. Stir gently to mix.
2
Add Flavoring Ingredients
Add the dried chamomile flowers, dried mint leaves, dried thyme, lemon peel, sugar, and honey into the jar with the alcohol mixture.
3
Seal and Shake
Seal the jar tightly and shake it gently to help dissolve the sugar and honey into the mixture.
4
Infuse for Two Weeks
Place the jar in a cool, dark place and let it infuse for at least 14 days. Shake the jar every few days to ensure that the flavors are well combined.

Straining and Bottling

5
Prepare for Straining
After two weeks, prepare a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over another clean jar or bottle.
6
Strain the Mixture
Carefully pour the infused liqueur through the strainer to separate the liquid from the solids. Discard the solids.
7
Bottle the Liqueur
Transfer the strained liqueur into clean glass bottles, seal them tightly, and label them if desired.
8
Rest Before Serving
Let the bottled liqueur sit for at least one week for the flavors to mellow before serving.
