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.
