Step 1

Harvest the mint, and give it a quick rinse. Pat dry.

Step 2

Remove the leaves from the stems, and discard the stems.

Step 3

Crush and smash the leaves in your hands–this will help to release some of the oils and give the process a jump start.

Step 4

Place the leaves in a pint-sized glass jar, and fill the jar the rest of the way with vodka.

Step 5

Give it a shake and set aside in a cool, dark place.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to steep for one to two months. Take a peek every so often to see if it’s strong enough for you.

Step 7

Strain the leaves, and bottle the finished extract in cute little jars.
