Sweet Cecily Vodka Schnapps

  • Take approximately 300 ml of sweet cecily leaves stripped from the stems (measured by packing the foliage tightly into a measuring jug) and put into a wide necked jar.
  • Add 500 ml of vodka and leave for 3 days or longer according to taste, shaking gently daily.
  • Strain off the aromatic green liqueur and serve chilled as an aperitif or after dinner drink.
  • The green seeds can also be used to flavour the vodka, add a handful of the roughly chopped seeds to 500 ml of vodka and again infuse for 3 days or until you are satisfied with the depth of flavour.
