Ingredients
Scale
3 parts Damiana
1 1/2 parts Rose petals
1/2 part Cinnamon chips
1 part Cacao nibs
2 parts Tulsi
Silver tequila (enough to cover ingredients by 2")
Honey (start with 1/4 cup per quart of infused liquid)
Instructions
- Chop herbs and place them in a clean glass jar.
- Pour tequila over the herbs until they’re covered by about 2 inches.
- Seal, label, and store the jar in a cool, dark spot.
- Shake the jar gently every day or two for 2 to 6 weeks.
- Strain through muslin or cheesecloth.
- Sweeten with honey, starting with 1/4 cup per quart and adjusting to taste.
- Optionally, add a cinnamon stick to the final product and let age a few more days.
Notes
- Don’t over-sweeten too early—let the herbs speak!
- Vodka is great if you want the herbs to shine without added alcohol flavors.
- You can swap Damiana for Lemon Balm or Holy Basil if that’s more your speed.
- Store in a dark bottle and keep in a cool place. Should last a year if done right.
- Great gift idea—dress up the bottle with a ribbon or handwritten label.
