Ingredients

1 cup mint leaves, de-stemmed
1 ½ cups vodka, bourbon, or rum

Directions

Wash leaves and pat dry.
Remove leaves from stem and set aside.
Place leaves in a jar and mash them lightly so they will release their oils.
Pour alcohol over the leaves. Using a spoon, mash leaves down until completely covered.
Cover jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in a dark cabinet for 3-4 week, shaking occasionally. When the extract has reached the depth of flavor that you prefer, strain the the leaves from the extract. Store extract in either a dark container or in a dark cabinet.
