Damiana liqueur Recipe

How to make it

---

• After one week, strain the mixture through a coffee filter and save the liquid.
• Re-soak the herbs, etc. in 750 ml. distilled water for another week and then strain this second mixture.
• Heat the second mix to approximately 80C (176 F) and dissolve one cup of honey into the hot liquid.
• After the honey has dissolved, remove from the heat, allow to cool somewhat and then add it to the first (whisky) mixture.
• You must then age the whole thing for at least a month!
• One ounce of liqueur, taken once a day for a few weeks should produce interesting results.
• Herbs usually work in a gentle fashion so don't expect instantaneous results.
• Indeed, because of their different metabolism, some people may not experience any effects whatever, while others may find the results too potent.
• Note:
