Ingredients:
150 g lemon balm leaves
1/2 liter of grain schnapps, fruit schnapps etc.
3/4 kg sugar
1/2 liter of water
Jar with lid
Linen cloth or filter
Pot
bottle(s)
Preparation:
Place the lemon balm leaves in a glass and pour the alcohol over them. Then close the jar and put it in a dark place for 2 weeks.
After the 14 days of steeping, the sugar and water are placed in a pot and boiled to a syrup. Then let it cool and pour it into the lemon balm alcohol. The two liquids are mixed well and can then be strained through a linen cloth or filter and poured into bottles. Don’t forget to label it with your name and date.
After a few weeks of storage, the Melissa liqueur can be used. It tastes very good and smells of lemon balm.
