Ingredients
  

  • 100 Washed cherry leaves
  • 1 l Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
  • 300 g Alcohol
  • Caster Sugar

Instructions
 

  • Wash, drain and air-dry your cherry leaves. Place them in an airtight glass jar with the wine to let them steep for 10 days in the dark.
  • Filter the contents of the jar with a colander or a muslin cloth. Gently heat the mixture and then add the sugar and alcohol. The heat will make it easier for the sugar to dissolve. Stir until the sugar is well mixed in.
  • Bottle and let it rest for at least 40 days before consuming it. The longer you let it rest, the better it will be!
