Gather the meadow flowers and herbs on a sunny day, place them in a jar while they’re still fresh (preferably unwashed – unless they’re covered in soil or something similar), and pour the alcohol over them. Let them stand for at least 6 weeks, then strain. Boil the water and rock candy until the sugar has melted, add the alcohol and season to taste. Add more sugar or water if necessary until the desired taste is achieved. Add the honey to the still slightly lukewarm liqueur and stir until dissolved. If there are still particles floating in the liquid, strain again through clean pantyhose or a coffee filter, then bottle and let it mature in a cool, dark place for at least 4-5 months. Enjoy a shot of schnapps after a heavy meal or when feeling nauseous!
