Makes: 10-11 cups

· 8 cups filtered water

· 8 cups superfine vanilla sugar (sugar in a food processor for 3 minutes)

· 1 pint 190 proof grain alcohol (I use Everclear brand)

· 4 tablespoons peppermint extract

· 1 tablespoon green food coloring

· 1 vanilla bean split and scraped

1. Combine the sugar, vanilla bean  and water. Heat until the sugar dissolved (happens quickly; no need to boil it), stirring frequently to hasten the process. Allow to cool.

  1. Once cool add the grain alcohol, peppermint extract and green coloring
  2. Bottle and enjoy!
