Homemade Schnapps

I've recently made schnapps from Tina Nordstrom's recipe. A teaspoon and a half of sugar for a fifth of vodka( Absolut, of course, as I'm still working a Swedish theme - Midsommarsdag), and a half dozen long sprigs of fresh garden mint - mine is a chocolate mint - got it at the farmers mkt in Brainerd- a chocolate and mint aroma, but no chocolate taste. Add the sugar and mint to the vodka and put it in the fridge for a day. It is so good and mellow that you can sip it instead of doing it as a shot.
It is really good as a side w/ the Summit Summer Sampler 12 pack. Especially good on the patio on the lake on a hot summer day( finally). Salud.
