1 c Packed, rinsed and dried peppermint or spearmint leaves

3 c Vodka

2 c Sugar

1 c Water

1 ts Glycerine; optional

Green food coloring; optional

Procedures :
In a quart-sized glass bottle or jar, steep the mint leaves in the vodka for about 10 days in a cool, dark place, shaking the bottle every day.
Gently pour the jar's contents through a regular strainer or sieve, pressing hard on the leaves to release all their flavor. Follow this by 2 strainings through slightly dampened cheesecloth. For true clarity and professional looking results, pour the strained mixture through a large clean coffee filter placed inside a funnel or clean coffee cone; loosely cover with plastic wrap since the process may take several hours.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Add the glycerine and green food coloring, if desired.
Funnel the strained brandy into a glass bottle, then funnel in the sugar syrup. Cover tightly; shake to blend. Let mature at room temperature, or slightly cooler, for at least two weeks.
