Directions:

• Gently rinse the mint leaves under running water then roughly rip the leaves into big chunks and put in the bottom of a sterilized mason jar.
• Bring to a boil the distilled water then pour the hot water over the leaves in the jar. Seal the jar and set in a sunny spot for 24 hours (shake vigorously once in the morning and once at night).

You could also substitute the fresh mint leaves with 1/2 tsp. of your favorite mint essential oil, just add it to the vodka, water and tea tree oil–shake spray bottle before each use.

Optional: Try tossing in some fresh lemon peel with the mint when covering with boiling water.
