Peppermint Schnapps Recipe

Utilize fresh and unmarked peppermint leaves. Just pick them before peaking and perform it in the dawn once the dew has totally disappeared. This is where they have the maximum necessary oil. If you purchase fresh peppermint plants just make it sure they are actually fresh – untreated if feasible – and totally free from bug damage. Handle peppermint with absolute care – fresh herbs damage easily. And utilize the leaves as early as possible to obtain the maximum taste and smell into your schnapps.
