Aging and Straining Your Peppermint Liqueur

Let age for a minimum of 2 weeks in a cool dry place.

Straining Your Liqueur

Straining, some prefer the look of having the cacao beans in the bottle others prefer to strain using a cheesecloth.

When using a cheesecloth to strain when you get to the point where you have strained everything out, you can gently wring the cheesecloth to extract all of the remaining liquid and juice.

It helps to moisten the cheesecloth first so the liquid permeates more smoothly.

If you still need to strain your liqueur further due to lack of clarity, you can strain it 1 more time through a coffee strainer.

Step 2

Heat up the water in a saucepan, when the water is boiling stir in the sugar making sure that it does not burn. When the sugar dissolves shut off the fire and let cool then pour into liqueur slowly tasting it all the while so you don’t over sweeten.

Congratulations, You Have Completed Making this Awesome Peppermint Liqueur Recipe!

You now need a bottle and a label which are cool enough to compliment your hard work. Honestly, if you put it into a cheap bottle, people will make fun of you. BUT, if it looks good, people will rave about it!
