Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml Vodka
- 200 g Granulated Sugar
- 240 ml Water
- 1.5 teaspoons Peppermint Extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it slightly thickens into a simple syrup.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature.
Once the syrup has cooled, pour it into a clean, large glass jar or bottle.
Add the vodka to the jar or bottle and mix well to combine with the syrup.
Stir in the peppermint extract, starting with 1 teaspoon. Taste and adjust by adding up to an additional 0.5 teaspoon for a stronger peppermint flavor.
Seal the jar or bottle tightly and let it sit for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the liqueur a gentle shake. Pour into decorative bottles if gifting, or store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
