Cuisine: French
Servings: 1.5 liter

Equipment

  • 1 glass container (bottle or jar) that closes tightly

Ingredients

  • 0.5 liter 96° alcohol or 1 liter of 45° alcohol
  • 2 handfuls fresh verbena leaves (about 10 g)
  • 200 g sugar
  • 1 liter water or 0.4 liter with 45° alcohol

Instructions

  • Remove the verbena leaves from their stems and wash them.
    Dry them gently and place them in a glass bottle that seals tightly.
  • Add the alcohol and mix.
    Close the bottle and store in a dry place away from light for 20 to 30 days.
    Stir approximately every 5 days.
  • Then filter your mixture to remove the leaves.
    You will get a pretty green liquid, as if the alcohol had stolen all the color from the leaves.
  • In a saucepan, pour the water and sugar then bring the mixture to the boil. Let it cool then pour your filtered alcohol over it.
  • Put your liquor back in closed bottles then store it in a cool, dry place away from light for about 10 days.
  • And there you have it! You can taste it!
    For my part, I then keep it cool, or even in the freezer.
