The tincture in a quart jar, held up to a 5k happylamp for illumination
I took a quart jar and packed it with as many unblemished mint leaves (pepper/spear, taken from my backyard) as I could pack in "reasonably" (not loosely, but the pile was still squishy). I topped the bottle off with svedka vodka and let it sit for 4-5 months. Then I strained out the leaves. I keep the bottle in my pantry out of direct sunlight. I haven't had a strong need to use this yet, but I believe the right method is to dilute some in a glass of water. Direct mint can be bad for you. I was motivated to do SOMETHING with the tremendous amount of mint growing in my yard I didn't want going to waste.
The consistency is the same as vodka, since I added no syrup to sweeten it (I wasn't aiming for a mint cordial).
