How to make a delicious mint liqueur with no additives or colorings
Put the sugar into a glass jar and add the alcohol.
If the color of the liqueur is of a higher importance to you, use white refined sugar.
If you're ready to sacrifice the color for the taste, then use unrefined cane sugar.
Any alcohol (ethanol) resulting from the distillation of a vegetable or fruit can be used, grape alcohol being the best. For higher quality liqueurs, aged eau-de-vie can also be used.

Add the mint sprigs, which should be ideally freshly harvested from your garden.
Do not wash them, simply drown them in your alcohol.

Place the jar in a dry place with a direct sunlight of 2 to 5 hours a day, for a period of 6 weeks during summer.
This will let the mint macerate into the alcohol and the sugar dissolve slowly as well, so all ingredients get combined together in a perfect and delicate fusion of flavors and tastes.

After 6 weeks, take out the mint sprigs and stir the remaining sugar until fully dissolved.
Keep in a dry and dark place for a few months prior to tasting your crème de menthe; a mint liqueur prepared in summer can be consumed from Christmas of the same year onwards.
If the alcohol is too strong, add water little by little, stir gently and keep tasting until it becomes satisfactory.
Do not use tap water, only water from a closed bottle.
Enjoy!
