Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- In a one-quart jar, pour the vodka and tear the mint leaves as you add them. Shake well to immerse the herbs. Let infuse for 48 hours, shaking once a day.
- Bring the water to a boil in a small or medium saucepan. Add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved, then reduce to a simmer. After 5 minutes, remove the simple syrup from the heat and let cool completely. If making ahead, refrigerate in a sealed container until ready to blend the liqueur.
- After 2 days, add the cooled simple syrup to the mint-infused liquor. Shake and infuse for another 24 hours.
- Strain out the mint using a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth. Discard the mint and strain one or two more times to remove extra sediment.
- Funnel the crème de menthe into a 750-milliliter bottle or several smaller bottles.
- To color the liqueur, add 3 to 5 drops of green food coloring and shake well to incorporate.

HOMEMADE CREME DE MENTHE
I was making all kinds of liquers last summer for Christmas gifts and stumbled across this recipe, but I don't remember where I found it. Very yummy- make sure you use a high-quality vodka for a really smooth finish(I found Seagram's Silver to be good quality for a great price). The lower-grade vodkas tend to give it too much of a bite. T
