Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Lg Handfuls Verbena Leaves -- tightly grasped
1 Fifth Vodka
1 Cup Sugar Syrup

Since verbena leaves are quite wiry and springy, it is difficult to get
an accurate measure. You have to compress them by grasping tightly.
About 3/4 oz should be the right amount if you have a scale. Let the
leaves steep in the vodka for one week, shaking the jar occasionally.
Strin through cheesecloth; be sure to press out any fluid in the leaves.
Sweeten with the sugar syrup and you are ready to enjoy.
