-- Steps
1. Wash and de-stem your peppermint leaves. Leave on towel to dry.
2. Fill jar 1/3 full with leaves (a little less or more is ok) and then fill the remainder with Vodka.
3. Stir gently to remove air bubbles and screw on lid.
4. Let sit in a dark, cool place for a week or more depending on how stiff you'd like your schnapps to be.
5. Strain mixture into a new jar and you're all set to add it to any number of holiday beverages (or drink it straight).
