Terragon Liqueur

Ingredients:

• 1 quart brandy

• 1 handful fresh tarragon leaves

• 1.5 cups sugar

• Enough water to dissolve sugar (about 1 cup)

• 2 ounces orange flower water

Instructions:

1. Place the fresh tarragon leaves in the brandy and let them steep for 5 days.

2. Meanwhile, make a simple syrup by combining the sugar and just enough water to dissolve it; bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool.

3. After 5 days, strain the tarragon leaves from the brandy.

4. Stir the cooled simple syrup into the tarragon-infused brandy.

5. Just before bottling, add 2 ounces of orange flower water to each quart of the liqueur.

6. Mix well, then bottle and store in a cool, dark place.
