Method

Preparation of Herbal Mixture

  1. 1

    Mixing Herbs

    In a large bowl, combine all the dried herbs: wormwood, hyssop, lemon balm, peppermint, sage, thyme, and angelica root. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Infusion Process

  1. 2

    Infusing Herbs in Spirit

    Place the mixed herbs into a large jar and pour the high-proof neutral spirit over them. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in a dark, cool place for a minimum of 2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days.

Filtration

  1. 3

    Strain the Mixture

    After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove the solid herbs.

Sweetening and Coloring

  1. 4

    Adding Sugar and Spirulina

    In a saucepan, combine the strained liquid with water and sugar. Heat gently while stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add spirulina powder to achieve the desired green color, mixing well to incorporate.

Final Bottling

  1. 5

    Bottling the Chartreuse

    Once the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well blended, let it cool. Pour the final product into sterilized bottles, seal, and label. Store in a cool, dark place.
