CHAMOMILE LIQUEUR

INGREDIENTS:
Two bunches of fresh whole Chamomile Matricaria flowers, one liter of ethyl alcohol 90 proof, 700 grams of water, and 700 grams of sugar.
After crumbling the Chamomile flowers let them sit in the alcohol for 40 days. Shake the container hard 2 or 3 times each day. After the 40 days, prepare syrup with the water and the sugar. Filter the alcohol through a screen and squeeze it well to get all the essence of the vegetable residue from the flowers.
