Cilantro-Cello
- 750 milliliters Everclear
- 3 Large Bunches of Cilantro
- 3 cups White Sugar
- 3 cups Water
- 1 Giant mason jar or vessel large enough to hold 7-8 cups of liquid
- Wash your cilantro bunches & let dry on a kitchen towel.
- Take the 3 bunches and cram them into your giant mason jar. Use a wooden spoon to bruise the cilantro slightly.
- Pour in the entire 750 ml bottle of Everclear.
- Screw on the top of the mason jar and leave on your counter for EXACTLY 3 DAYS.
- After 3 days, make the simple syrup by combining 3 cups of white sugar with 3 cups of water. Bring to a simmer until all the sugar has dissolved. Let it cool completely.
- While the simple syrup is cooling, strain your cilantro-cello. Wash the mason jar and pour the evil looking green liquid back in. Be careful when straining, this alcohol will stain pretty much anything it touches.
- Add the cooled simple syrup to your cilantro liquid. Store your cilantro-cello in the fridge.
