Tidbits

1. It is very important that you use a covered saucepan when making this drink.
2. The alcohol will boil away if the solution is not covered when it gets hot.
3. Also the longer this drink is bottled and stored in a dark, cool place, the better it will taste.
4. For the best flavor, store it for at least thirty days before drinking.
5. Probably the hardest part of making this simple recipe is not drinking the stuff before it matures!
