Homemade Mint Extract

 Y'all, I had such a good time making the vanilla extract for Christmas that I decided to try a homemade mint extract. So I picked a lot of mint from a friends garden, grabbed some cheap booze, and got to work. 

First I removed the leaves from the stems, washed them, then put them into a jar. Then I filled the rest of the jar with vodka.


Ooh la la! After I made 9 of these jars (which will translate into 18 gifts, yikes), I still had an insane amount of leaves. So I decided to make some tea! 


I laid out the leaves on a paper towel to dry out. Tomorrow, I'll put them into an infuser and then drink it! Wish me luck that it works!
