- 25 leaves of lemon verbena or lemon tree (Aloysia Triphylla)
- 4 cloves
- ¼ stalk(s) cinnamon

- 1 liter of spirit, 90%
- 300 g sugar
- 1 liter of water

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest period approx. 72 days; Total time approx. 72 days 30 minutes
Place lemon tree leaves, cloves, coarsely chopped cinnamon, and juniper berries in a 2.5-liter preserving jar and pour over the spirit. Seal and let steep for 5 days. On the sixth day, prepare a syrup from the sugar and water by thoroughly stirring it cold. Pour this syrup into the jar and let the mixture steep for another 6 days. Then strain the mixture through a cheesecloth and squeeze out the spices. Filter the liqueur a second time through a coffee filter and bottle. Keep the lid tightly closed and let it rest for 2 months. The longer the better.
