    He's right tho.

    1: Get a candy thermometer, a medium/large pot, a mason jar big enough to hold all your herb and liquor, and a fine mesh coffee strainer.

    2: Pour the herb into the jar and cover it +a few cm with alcohol [preferably everclear or 151]

    3: Start heating up a few cups of water on the stove. You should do this on an ELECTRIC stove, as alcohol and fire can be dangerous.

    4: After about 10 minutes, put the jar in the water. Make sure the jar has a good amount of water around it.

    5: Put the thermometer inside the mason jar. Measure the heat until the thermometer reads 170F and keep it around that number by adjusting the heat [removing from the burner if it gets too hot]. Maintain 170F for about 20 minutes.

    6: Wait 20 mins for it to cool again, then strain with the stainer, and vuela.
