Wild thyme schnapps

Ingredients
  • 2 thyme twigs with flowers
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all spices
  • 1 g salt
  • 700 ml schnapps
Equipment
  • Preservation jar
Directions
  1. Toast the two thyme twigs on a hot frying pan. They need to get a bit of color, but they must not burn. Add sugar, and let it caramelize on the pan.
  2. When the sugar is brown and caramelized, pour it all on a baking tray with greaseproof paper, and let it rest until the mass is firm. Don't remove the thyme twigs from the sugar.
  3. When the sugar is completely firm, crush it, and put it in a preservation jar. Try to break the thyme twigs into the jar as well.
  4. Add schnapps, close the jar, and leave it for at least 6 weeks.
  5. Strain the schnapps and pour it into a bottle.
