The right thing after a sumptuous meal

Wash the herbs and dry thoroughly. Place the herbs in an airtight container and add the alcohol. The mixture must now steep for 2 weeks. During this time, swirl briefly every day to allow the aromas to disperse. After these 2 weeks, prepare the syrup. Place the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil until the syrup is amber in color. Do not boil for longer than 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool. Remove the herbs from the alcohol, strain if necessary, and stir in the syrup. Reseal the container and let it stand for another 2 weeks, swirling once every day. After these 2 weeks, bottle the liqueur and serve very cold. This liqueur also makes a lovely gift from the kitchen.
