Pi Lo Chun Liquor

This liquor green tea liquor is made with the subtly fresh Pi Lo chun variety and sweetened with crisp orange blossom honey. This is a lovely spring time liquor that is sure to leave everyone refreshed, if not spinning.

Ingredients
1/2 cup loose Pi Lo Chun tea
1 liter vodka

1/2 orange
1 cup water

Directions
1. Pour vodka into a 1 gallon mason jar and add tea. Close the lid and shake for about a minute.
2. Set the jar in a dark place for no longer that 24 hours. (8 hours is usually good)
3. Strain tea from vodka. Make sure no leaves remain in the liquor.

7. Add honey water to steeped vodka. Close the lid of the mason jar and shake to mix.
8. Funnel the liquor into sealable bottles. (I use grolsch style bottles.)
9. Seal the bottle with wax.

11. Break wax seal, drink and enjoy!

(This is rather strong, be responsible.)
