Preparation: Rinse the mint and lemon balm under running water. Pluck the leaves from the stems and place them side by side on a layer of kitchen paper. Place a second layer on top and pat the leaves dry. Roughly crush the coriander and cloves in a mortar and pestle. Alternate the herb leaves and spices in a large, wide bottle. Pour the liquor over the leaves and place in a bright, but not too sunny, location. Let it steep for at least four weeks, shaking well occasionally. Then pour the mixture through a sieve lined with clean cheesecloth and refill bottles or carafes. After another three weeks of storage, the liquor will be fully aromatic. Tip: This peppermint liquor helps with stomach and gallbladder problems. It also has a calming effect on insomnia.
